My friend e-mailed me in PowerPoint illustration which suggests that drinking 3 to 4 cups of green tea can help in a long list of different health conditions. I tell myself that I consider myself doing well if I can drink just one cup a day. I'm not much of a tea or coffee person but since a friend has presented me with some good green tea, I have started drinking it. 
How many cups are recommended? It depends who is answering your question. Studies seem to suggest 4 to 5 cups but those who are in the business of selling green tea may recommend 10 cups a day.
In summary green tea is reputed to be helpful in the following medical conditions:-
1) cancer
2) rheumetoid arthritis
3) high cholesterol
4) cardio vascular disease
5) infection
6) impaired immune system
The only reported negative side effect from drinking green tea is probably insomnia. I must add that in my own opinion, I am always worried about the staining of my teeth. Does anyone know of any easy way to control teeth staining from tea?
