A member asked:

Can green tea be harmful for the thyroid or hormone balance?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Green tea: No it isn't harmful to thyroid and hormone balance. Furthermore, the potential health benefits from green tea are so small that you also should not be drinking gallons of it a day to try and amplify its benefits. Hope this helps
