Finally, it's best to take green tea extract with food. Both exceeding the recommended dose and taking it on an empty stomach may cause serious liver damage ( 30 , 54 ). Green tea extract can be consumed in capsule, liquid, or powder form. The recommended dose is 250-500 mg, taken with food.

RE: your comment about too much green tea leads to brittle bones. How much is too much? I've been drinking about 6 cups (48 oz) per day, room temp, no sweetener or milk, sipping it from time I wake up to 7pm ish. LOVE CONSUMER LAB! Thank you for sincerely and professionally being the watchdog and educator with total neutrality that the public needs.

Hi Joanne - Thanks for your nice comments about CL. Regarding your intake of green tea, it would seem best to cut back. See the information about fluorosis in the Concerns and Cautions section of the Green Tea Review at www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Green_Tea_Review_Matcha_Supplements_and_Bottled/Green_Tea/#cautions.

@@ConsumerlabPlus It's been five years since that comment, but for those reading this: Fluoride levels in green tea are much lower than in black tea, and the highest levels of fluoride are in matcha tea: avoid it. As for drinking green tea every day, that is a great way to boost your health. To reduce - and virtually remove harmful fluoride from your drinking water, by the way, just add a handful of tulsi / holy basil to a gallon, and let it steep for an hour or so.

100 % ,not to mention he's trying to scare people and sign up so they can read the report and hopefully there they find that best product. You see this practice with soo many different things. The true is ,if you instead spend the money to buy quality tea,you'll be fine,any miniscule amount of something remotely concerning would be outweight by the benefits of this beverage,think is,green tea is grown in the condition(heat, humidity,sun..) that unless you buy spring harvest tea leaves, later in the season they haven't use pesticides, even the most high quality producers.However I doubt that the ammout that en up in final product is worth worrying about,it is probably worst for you to eat farmed seafood.

Thank you for making research on the subject. I was personally looking for the testing of lead in matcha powders, as with many powders in spices like origano , test with heavy metals. Often these products are praised with high health value, but a darker side seems to be passing under the radar of many who consume these products almost daily ..

Just like with eating fruit and vegetables and being vegetarian you have more pesticide in your body than people with meat in the diets ,does this mean you should not eat them? No ,the benefits outweight any potential risks,same here ,the goodness you get from having green tea much more outweight potential cones.

A preliminary study found that a green tea extract high in EGCG had this effect, but it's too early to know for sure how effective this is. Researchers at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere are studying this and recently came out with additional findings on how it may work (www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-35212-6). In any event, you should consult with your doctor.

The reason it is in water and toothpaste is that you need a small amount to strengthen bones and teeth. Getting way too much, however, make bones and teeth brittle. So, if you substitute green tea for water all day long, you'll get too much since green tea contains flouride.

Our testing of Lipton green tea did not indicate any safety problem. Our Review includes our findings regarding heavy metals, caffeine, and green tea catechins (EGCG) in this and other popular green teas (www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Green_Tea_Review_Matcha_Supplements_and_Bottled/Green_Tea/)

Funny there are different kinds of Lipton green tea out there that one really gets confused. Some are packaged locally and are quite affordable while some are imported and pretty pricey... In my love for green tea, price doesn't move me to it, the feel of any I taste can get me to stick. Now, thinking of these testing as I want to talk about Teas as a tiny section of my new KZbin channel💃💃

I've been drinking 3 quarts of iced green tea a day for a few years. I cold brew it at least 6 hours in the refrigerator, never with hot water. Cold brewing doubles the catechins and halves the tannins and caffeine. No bitterness, no Sweetener needed.

Sharon - Sorry to tell you, but that is a dangerous thing to be doing. There have been reported cases of others who have done that and developed fluorosis, i.e., getting too much flouride (naturally in green tea), causing brittle teeth and bones. You can read about these cases in the Concerns and Cautions section of our Green Tea Review at www.consumerlab.com/answers/should-i-worry-about-getting-too-much-fluoride-from-drinking-tea/fluoride-in-tea/. Consider switching to water.

About half of the coal burned in the world is burned in China, and Chinese coal is about 1,000 times higher in lead than American coal. Why does this matter in a discussion about green tea? Because most of the green tea sold worldwide comes from China and research strongly suggests that in terms of lead, it’s where it’s grown that is most important.

Bluddy he'll, another expert tells it different from other experts, why can't you all get together and agree on at least one of the factors of when ,where how its safe to drink green tea.

Really helpful and informative video. Was sad to find that the Pure Leaf and the Ito En iced green teas were weak in EGCG. I drink a lot of both of those. I recently discovered that I have developed kidney stones. Is there any correlation between drinking green tea (even teas weak in EGCG) and kidney stones? From what I've been able to find it seems to actually help prevent them. But my doctor said that green teas can cause them just like black teas.

I saw one report that listed Itoen as having very little EGCG. I’ve been drinking that brand for years and I really hope that report isn’t accurate. Itoen is very popular in Japan.

Ito En is among the bottled green teas that we tested. The results for it and other products are in our report at www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Green_Tea_Review_Matcha_Supplements_and_Bottled/Green_Tea/. The amount of EGCG per suggested serving (8 fl oz) was, as you note, relatively low.

Ito En also makes matcha tea that has not been processed like the bottled version. Making your own fresh green tea has the health benefits whereas the more processed products have little to none. I use several brands of matcha green tea that is just the tea powder, NO SUGAR OR OTHER INGREDIENTS ADDED, and drink 1 to 3 cups per day. It has helped me avoid colds and flu viruses and I feel more alert (not jittery like with coffee). Hope this helps. :) Here is a link to the Ito En matcha tea: www.amazon.com/Matcha-Love-Ceremonial-Canister-Antioxidant/dp/B01ESBOJ7G/ref=sr_1_7_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1540312327&sr=1-7&keywords=matcha%2Blove%2Btea%2Bpowder&th=1 It's also available in an organic version but costs a bit more.

I have been buying brewed/bags lately. It's cheaper and looks like it's much better. Has more EGCG and Catechins. I was surprised to see how well Lipton rated.

Matcha tea powder has 10 times the EGCG and catechins of tea that is brewed from teabags, because you are consuming the entire leaf rather than just discarding the tea leaves after steeping. There are many brands now that have a matcha blend with whole leaves in tea bags or sachets that are cheaper than buying the tea powder. I would think that they offer a bit more health benefits than the regular tea bags. :)

@@helpfulnatural From what I've seen from tests from Consumber Labs and a few others Matcha does have the highest amounts of EGCG and Catechins but not nearly the amount you said. Consumer Labs had their highest tested Matcha powder at 91.8mg of EGCG and 248.9mg of Catechins. While the highest brewed from a bag was at 79mg/150mg. Bottled was much.

If radioactive contaminants from Japan's Fukushima meltdown are a concern, be advised that China also produces matcha tea; it is called called matcha tea from China or sometimes green tea powder from China.
