Yes: Four or five cups of green tea has almost as much caffeine as one cup of coffee. Green tea also has theobromine and theophylline (stimulants like cafffeine) which coffee doesn't have.

Question 5

can too much caffeine make you nauseous? (specifically, more than 1 cup of coffee & tea in a day.)

what other sources of caffeine are there other than black coffee and green tea? any tastier alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine: Caffeine is found in chocolate, many sodas, and many teas.  There are some other less well known foods as well. 

But, caffeine is not necessary for life or the diet. I can think of no reason a 16 year old would even care or want caffeine given they do not need it.

Caffeine is highly addictive.

Question 8

a small green tea (black) and a small 1 milk from tim hortons is what i had today. is that to much caffeine for one day? and will i gain weight?

Accepted Answer

Not on weight: A small tea has a very small amount of caffeine, usually less than 50 mg, and milk doesn't have any caffeine. This is not a large amount of caffeine. There are people who think that we should have no caffeine ever, at all. There is no scientific basis for that. Small amounts of caffeine do not appear to be harmful. The huge doses being hawked in 5 hour energy etc. May be harmful to some people.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Green Tea: Green tea has lots of antioxidents in it and is good for you.  The fact that you re-use one tea bag helps prevent against excess caffeine.  If you find that your are becoming anxious or can't sleep well just drink hot water every other cup.  (you might also enjoy white tea.) peace and good health.
