How on earth did this become a religious discussion??? Green tea has been proven to have anti-cancer properties!!! Would your “GOD” prefer to see people dying of cancer than to drink “stimulating beverages”?? Give me a freaking break!! religious fanatics!!

Interesting reading about some of the cautions with green tea. Re: Ezelle’s comment, I’m not sure how true this is but I read somewhere that decaffeination may damage some of the catechins, polyphenols,vitamin-content and antioxidant levels of the green tea so that it reduces its power. But as I say, not sure about this yet. Must read more : )

In short, one must drink decaffeinated green tea. Its health benefits are like 1 million times more powerful than its side effects.

I was looking for FACTS on green tea, not some foolish discussion on fictional, invisible entities. Yes, of course people are entitled to believe in god, the tooth fairy or santa and his elves. So long as your beliefs do not lead you toward violence and you do not impose your delusions on me, I couldn’t care less what you believe.

I believe the Word of Wisdom 100%
When you think about it the W.O.W. was given in the early 1800′s, at the time not only were coffee and tea mentioned, but tobacco and alcohol as well. Back then, many members of the Church questioned why they weren’t allowed to do these things as well, they didn’t believe it was bad for them. But now we know smoking is bad for your lungs, brain, and negatively effects nearly everything in your body. (Something people in the 1800′s and even early 1900′s didn’t know!) Alcohol we’ve found can literally destroy you liver, and nowadays look at all the problems that come from alcohol! We may not know all the negative effects of tea, but we know they contain tannin, which is bad for your stomach and is used to make animal skin into leather, (sounds yummy right?) Someone also said if we can’t drink coffee or tea we shouldn’t be able to drink coke. Coke only has approx. 35 mg of caffeine, whereas coffee ranges from 58-206 mg, and tea depending on the kind is from 26-120. I think when you look at the facts, the word of wisdom was given by god, the prophecy that was given then can help make our bodies much healthier.

Those are my beliefs.

I absolutely agree to what Will said. Word of Wisdom was came from God by revelation through his prophet in this latter-day, that he outlined there the substances that are not for in the body. Though these substances have beneficial effects if taken moderately or with prescription but they are addictive that may cause uncontrollable consumption and excessive take of these destroys our body system, that would lose our good judgment, truly is. That is the reason why God includes tea as well as coffee in his law of health, He knows more what is best for us than we do. He is omnipotent, and loving to all his children. Obedient is better than sacrifice.

Oh, and The Word of Wisdom says not to drink stimulating drinks. It doesn’t mention what they are, The reason for the Word of Wisdom is to make your body healthy to be a temple for God. And Mormons should not be drinking coke if they follow the WOW. Caffeine-free would be okay, according to the accepted “interpretation”. No, I am not Mormon:). So I don’t really care what they do,….just pointing out facts:),

Hi: Caffeine is not added to Green Tea. Black, Oolong, Green and White Tea all come from the same plant. They are treated slightly different in processing (roasting, oxidizing, etc.), but they are the same. There is a little less caffeine in a cup of green tea, then in black or oolong because fewer leaves are used to make a cup.

Bottom line..same plant. About 20 mgs of caffeine in green tea and 40 in black. Decaffeinate it yourself. It’s easy.

that isn’t referring to Green Tea its self, its refering to the added Caffeine in the Green Tea.
I might be wrong but I thought the Caffeine is put into Green Tea Bags by the distributor ? and that original Green Tea has no Caffeine in it ?

In my opinion Pregnant women and breestfeeders should have have organic REAL Green tea! with no added preseratives and no Added CAFFEINE! and they should be fine and have no side effects.

I will also add that I am aware I could be wrong with my facts on this one, I’m just going by what I have read and being told by several people

Justin; I personally don’t agree with the Mormons, but right now I think its beside the point. I don’t see the harm in any kind of tea.. Can it really be all that bad if people have been drinking it for centuries?

Will; This will seem mildly contradictory, but if its so bad, why did God give it to us in the first place? To tempt us along with other things? Another thing, who really wrote the “Words of Wisdom” ? God or Man?

Walter; I agree.

Billy; I believe you are ignorant for calling someone else ignorant for their beliefs. People are entitled to their opinions, yes, and are also therefore entitled to discrimination and such because humans are cruel like that.

To me, too much caffeine is bad, yes, but a little is good for the body. Its one of those bittersweet things in life.

the word of wisdom is a lesser law to see if you can do as you are told or be obedient Im not explaining this right but it seems some of the things that we drink or eat are not good for us and they aren’t in the wow you have to use your own brains and give up say lobstet if it makes you sick if you keep eating it you are breaking the wow as it is up to us to use are own intelligence also. mormons drink a lot of coke but the wow says tea coffee hot drinks ect not coke if you decide to give up coke that is your own definition of the wow There needs to be a better understanding of the wow and a lot of it is your own testimony but being a mormon there is nothing worse than someone mormon or not telling me what to do and there personal ideas of the wow.I beleive in God but sometimes the leaders of the church IE ABrigham Young pout in things for there own personal reasons

Well Justin, you’re stupid because you contradicted yourself. God, by definition, is omnipotent and thus if you’re a believer you’re ignorant to go against its word.

But then again, you’re ignorant for believing in god anyway.

Second, Green Tea has far more negatives than are listed in this article. I suggest you read up on caffeine instead of your pathetic religions and gods.

I strongly disagree with both opinions towards god, but i won’t get into that.

Justin B, i praise you for your appreciation of such a naturally healthy beneficial drink.

Will, im sorry but you need to get your head out of the gutter.

Hey Justin, you bring up some very good points about the health benefits of Green Tea. I don’t disagree with the proven health benefits of Green Tea and I respect your beliefs. I believe however, that in Green Tea there things that will effect our health adversely and the good things can be found from other sources. If you believe in God you probably also believe that He knows more that us and so it is possible that there are things that we don’t understand yet about Green Tea and that is why when God gave the Word of Wisdom that He included Tea.
