No one is telling you drink Green tea in "vast quantities". Most recommend an 8oz cup a day, which is perfectly safe.

Again, no one is telling you to eat kale by the sackful! Drinking a sackful of water a day might cause problems for you as well, but no one is dumb enough to try to claim that water is unhealthy.
- jeffrey_t_b 8y agoThat stuff _is_ ridiculous. I don't know if the human bladder is sized for that level of tea. On the other hand, it looks like an infographic-style addition, added by the newspaper to make the article more interesting, rather than the contribution of the author.
