Is green tea good in pregnancy?

Yes, in moderation!: Green tea is quite safe and like almost everything else out there having it in moderation is good!

Green tea pregnancy?: This is somewhat controversial. The best evidence suggests that 2-3 cups a day are safe, but some limited studies have suggested that green tea may lower the levels of Folic Acid during pregnancy and this is not good for the baby. In addition, if you breast feed, caffeine consumed enters the breast milk. It is best to consume caffeinated products in moderation.

Overhyped: Green tea is the latest in a long line of overhyped nutritional products. Claims include weight loss, better health, longer life, better endurance. Do not believe the hype. Yes green tea contains some anti-oxidants and phytonutrients, but it still contains caffiene which is a stimulant and has diuretic properties. Too much green tea is not good for you.

Decaffeinated better: T is recommended that you not drink nettle leaf, fennel, sassafras, rosemary, hibiscus, ephedra, licorice root, raspberry leaf, anise or sage tea. Encourage you to limit caffeine intake -so if you drink white, red, yellow or green tea- try to make it decaffeinated.
