A member asked:
Dose drinking too much green tea cause cancer and cause you not to be pregnant later in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Green tea is one of the healthiest things we can ingest and is highly protective against cancer. It is not known to reduce fertility. I know of only 2 reasons to limit green tea:1) it has caffeine and too much caffeine can be hazardous 2) It has fluoride which can be toxic For this reason I'd limit green tea to 5 cups/day but even much higher amounts won't cause cancer or infertility.
