Yes, green and white tea contain caffeine. I drink 4-5 cups of tea a day (green, white, or black) and it's made no difference in my weight. To lose pounds you'll need to cut back on calories and exercise.

yes, ice tea does have caffeine and isn't good to drink when you work out, it's also a dehydrator, which means when you go to the bathroom after drinking it, it also take out with it many nutrients and vitamins that your body needs.  \n   Gatorade is for extreme athletes, if you'll be working out 3 hrs. or more, water is the best, and you can't drink too much of it.  You'll also feel better drinking water, as your thirst will be satisfied.  If you're thirsty you're already dehydrated. \n If your urine is yellow, you're dehydrated, it should be clear.

The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. Here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful\ncancer\nrheumatoid arthritis\nhigh cholesterol levels\ncariovascular disease\ninfection\nimpaired immune function\nThe secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots.  The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke. The only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine.   However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee

Well, green tea is better for you. To quickly name just a few of the possible benefits, there are studies that strongly suggest that the antioxidants in Japanese sencha may reduce the risk of cancer, prevent cavities, fight the flu virus, lower high blood sugar, lower blood cholesterol, and have an antibacterial action against food born illnesses. Studies show that green tea contains antioxidants, polyphenols, theanine, as well as a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.\nHowever, I prefer coffee.

Tea containing caffiene is actually diuretic - As long as intake matches losses, fluid balance is maintained but  increased losses can upset fluid balance. One way this can happen is via increased sweat production in hot, humid environments, especially during exercise. Diuretic agents, including caffeine and alcohol, can also upset fluid balance by acting on the kidneys to boost urine production. If fluid losses are increased without a corresponding increase in fluid intake, a negative fluid balance results.   However, you'd have to drink a lot of caffiene to make such a drastic effect.

Green Tea is known mainly to come from China and Japon. But also from Ceylon,  Darjeeling Vietnam and Assam\n\nHealth benefits:\n\nProponents of green tea note that its medicinal benefits have been described for over 1000 years. The Kissa Yojoki, or Book of Tea, written by Zen priest Eisai in 1191, describes how drinking green tea can have a positive effect on the five vital organs, especially the heart. The book discusses tea's medicinal qualities which include easing the effects of alcohol, acting as a stimulant, curing blotchiness, quenching thirst, eliminating indigestion, curing beriberi disease, preventing fatigue, and improving urinary and brain function. Part One also explains the shapes of tea plants, tea flowers and tea leaves and covers how to grow tea plants and process tea leaves. In Part Two, the book discusses the specific dosage and method required for individual physical ailments\nIn more recent times, many studies have investigated a link between the consumption of green tea and a lower incidence of a range of cancers in populations, with mixed results. Green tea enthusiasts have claimed it to be useful for:\nCognition \nStopping certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers \nPreventing/treating cancer \nTreating arthritis \nTreating multiple sclerosis \nPreventing the degradation of cell membranes by neutralizing the spread of free radicals (which occurs during the process of oxidation).\nIncreases fat oxidation (helps the body use fat as an energy source) and raises metabolism.\nLowering LDL cholesterol (in high doses in lab tests) \nPreventing lowered T-Cells due to HIV - In lab tests, EGCG, found in green tea, was found to prevent HIV from attacking T-Cells. However, it is not known if this has any effect on humans yet.\n\nSo Green Tea is definitely good,  not only for boosting the energy (by it's fat oxydation action) but for a lot of other conditions.\n\nThat's my Best Answer!

for starters ignore Marcus' response...green tea does NOT cause cancer, it prevents carcinogens from being metabolized.  Ideally you should only drink 8 ounces of green tea daily for the health benefit.  If you are drinking it more often, then it can cause stomach upset, especially if on an empty stomach.  Try drinking a glass after you eat.  If this doesnt work, wait about a week and slowly introduce greeen tea back into your system.  Its possible that you have developed an intolerance to it.

The antioxidant content of various types of tea has been well studied. An analysis on 20 common brands of tea has shown that they contain widely varying amounts of antioxidants, which are known to help fight off cancer and heart disease among other illnesses.\n\nThe following teas were brewed for 3 minutes each and the antioxidant level is shown below:\nBrand of Tea Catechin content (in milligrams)\nCelestial Seasonings Green Tea 217\nLipton Green Tea 201\nBigelow Darjeeling Blend (black tea) 164\nUncle Lee's Green Tea 157\nStash Premium Green Tea Decaf 53\nTwinings Earl Grey Black Tea 46\nBigelow Constant Comment (black tea) 38\nBigelow Constant Comment Decaf 10\nLipton Lemon Iced Tea 0\nSnapple Peach Iced Tea 0\n\nThe overwhelming of all tea consumed in the U.S. is black tea. The processing method of tea may account for some of the differences in antioxidant levels. Green tea is commonly thought to have more antioxidants than black tea. This was often, but not always the case. Most scientists that have really studied this have found that the number of antioxidants in black tea is actually higher than what is found in green tea.

As was said, coffee and tee are good choices. These days coffee is said to actually have a few health benefits. Tea is possibly a better choice, although in truth the antioxidant properties of green tea are probably exaggerated, as my understanding is that plain old hot chocolate actually has a much higher antioxidant content (although obviously not a low calorie choice).

It is nothing but TEA - now called MILLENNIUM DRINK which helps cancer - read-\n\nThe most promising health drink of the new millennium may be one of the oldest known to man--tea.\n\nIn the late 1980s, a visiting professor from China handed researcher Dr. James Klaunig a jar containing a powdered material.\n\n"You should try this to see if it prevents cancer in your systems," the professor said, and walked away. Dr. Klaunig put the jar on a shelf, but later experimented with it in cell cultures and found to his surprise that it blocked biomarkers of early cancer development. When the researcher sought out the Chinese professor and asked him, "What is that stuff?" he was told it was dried powdered tea.\n\nDr. Klaunig, now director of the Division of Toxicology at the Indiana University School of Medicine, has studied tea ever since. And he is not alone. Researchers around the world are scrutinizing this popular drink. Their studies are gathering evidence that tea offers protection from cancer and may also reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.\n\nIn Japan, where green tea is already popular as a cancer preventive, tea is even added to breads and other foods. At the Second Symposium on Tea and Health held in Washington, D.C., last September, Japanese researchers reported that drinking large amounts of green tea reduced recurrence of cancer in previous breast cancer patients.\n\nIn another study, a Chinese researcher developed a tea mouthwash that caused regression of precancerous lesions in the mouth.\n\nDr. Klaunig also presented a study at the symposium showing that tea reduces oxidative damage in the human body, and that it is especially effective in people who smoke. "Smokers have very high levels of various types of oxidative damage, such as damage to DNA," Dr. Klaunig says. His research showed that after smokers drank tea for as little as one week, their oxidative-damage measurements were significantly reduced. Tea lowered oxidative damage in smokers an average of 40 to 60 percent, reducing it to the level of that found in nonsmokers before drinking tea. "It was pretty dramatic," Dr. Klaunig said-.
