Great post. This is the type of stuff I like to see. I've strayed away from green tea the past couple years and took up coffee... Tea is incredibly expensive... in comparison to coffee. I am going to get back in the habit again!

I drink Green Tea for the fat burning/ thermogenic effects: http://www.shapefit.com/benefits-gre...-fat-loss.html
How green tea fat burner actually occurs
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition claims that green tea extract is one of the most effective metabolism boosters that naturally occur in a plant or herb. Metabolic rate is increased by 4 percent within a 24 hour time frame. Some researchers speculate that substances in green tea known as polyphenols, specifically the catechins, are responsible for the herb's fat-burning effect. This occurs because Chinese green tea weight loss products release antioxidants into the blood stream and help burn fat faster than normal while at the same time helps the body absorb calories and convert them directly into muscle or energy.
A naturally occurring side-effect of green tea consumption is that of appetite suppression. Green tea weight loss diet occurs naturally. Herbal green teas are not synthetic, hence are completely absorbed by a person, unlike many vitamins and other supplements.
Researchers were able to confirm the weight loss benefit of green tea in a recent study at the University of Geneva. The conclusion was that, "Green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation beyond that explained by its caffeine content per se." Where before it was generally believed that the caffeine content in green tea is the reason for its weight loss benefit, this recent study deviated from that theory.
Green tea was said to have shown some weight loss benefits by virtue of the fact that it can prevent fat from being stored, increase protein levels, and promote thermogenesis by triggering beta-adrenoceptor to action.
Recent findings of green tea extract AR25 (Exolise) and its activity for the treatment of obesity. This study is a collaborative work between Doctors P. Chantre and D. Lairon of the Laboratories Arkopharma in Carros, France. Published in the 2002 issue of Phytomedicine, this study aimed to find out if green tea extract has weight loss benefits and can be a potential cure for obesity.
In their study, they used an 80% ethanolic concentrate in green tea extract with standardized 25% catechins. They tested the green tea extract and were able to find that it could directly inhibit gastric and pancreatic lipases. These enzymes are the primary cause of fat storage and by delaying their actions; green tea extract therefore exhibits a weight loss benefit that can help solve obesity problems.
It was also discovered in this study that green tea can stimulate thermogenesis. Given to moderately obese patients, the green tea extract was said to have caused a decrease in weight by 4.6% and a reduction of waist circumference by 4.48% after only three months. The findings of the study clearly implicate the weight loss benefits of green tea.I don't have a tuxedo that fits anymore because my chest and my biceps are too big.

"Tea also contains more fluoride than allowed by health commissions...may a note of that."

Nothing but preservatives and other nasty stuff.
I'm not sure that even counts as tea, really. Especially if you don't drink the diet kind. It's basically sugar water with some caramel coloring. Otherwise, its mostly just sucralose, water, food coloring, preservatives...
Just buy a little box and brew it at home with a tea pot. I've been drinking tea for years and years. I'm not sure it has 'helped' me or anything, but I enjoy it. I drink more oolong in the winter. Oolong is wonderful.
