lipton ice tea, is this good for you?

i know green tea is good for you but i wondering how regualer lipton ice tea is for you w/o any sweatner. if you drink 3 quarts a day is that bad? im looking to buy one of them ice tea machines today and i like liption ice tea and im wondering if that will hurt weight loss.

thanks

What's the nutritional information on the lipton ice tea?

I wasn't aware you could get it without sweetener. I've only seen it loaded with sugar.

if its 0 cals, and its uncarbonated..... it's probably a decent source of water........ no?

DJohnson, i think he is talking about the TEA bags.. because he is talking about making his own.

Fordracing... if its unsweetened, then its fine. i drink tea with splenda all the time. my weight lost is going great. i highly doubt unsweetend lipton tea will make any diffrence, if your diet and exc routine is in check/

ok, yeah im talking about using Tea bags and making your own ice tea and im talking unsweetend. so would it be bad if i drank 3 quarts of this a day? also its 0 cals and half the caffine as coffee.

Yea bro, drink away.

does it have any of the benifits of green tea or is it just ok to drink it and not any benifits?

It may have some benefits, regardless, it is fine to drink. At 0 calories, have as much as you like!

ok, thanks, been drinking tons of water but need something else to mix it up a bit and this is perfect

I believe that type of tea (orange pekoe ?? or black ?? or a combo ??) has some of the benefits credited to green tea, to a lesser extent. I use my iced tea machine to make iced regular, iced green tea (with a bag or 2 of ginseng tea thrown in for good measure...), and occasionally iced yerba mate (when I don't feel like messing with the gourd/bombilla method of consumprion ;) )
As long as it's unsweetened, you should be fine. I can't stomach hot tea (literally - makes me nauseous), but can drink iced tea by the gallon....go figure ...

yeah its a combo

Not quite as much antioxidents as green tea , but still a great source and very good for you. I don't know what exactly is in the green tea that helps with weight loss. One thing I have found is that if you use 6-7 green tea bags per gallon along with 3-4 of the original Lipton it pretty much tastes like the original.
As a side note, add a little Black pepper to your food when you are drinking tea . It aids in the obsorbtion of the antioxidents. Avoid drinking hot tea with milk. The milk blocks the antioxidents.
