For a long time, green tea was considered one of the healthiest and, in fact, science has proven that the drink has several positive effects.
However, it is really necessary to put this information in contrast with what recent studies say. This is because researchers from the Clait Health Service, in Israel, presented some contraindications for the drink.
More precisely, the recent study points out the relationship between the intense consumption of green tea with the development of liver problems. In this case, the researchers were able to identify that there are botanical toxins in the plant that generate a dangerous metabolic reaction. Ultimately, this reaction can lead to inflammation of the liver.
Furthermore, the same study demonstrated that green tea consumption is capable of creating herb-induced liver damage. This is a little-known problem, with only 100 records worldwide, but it can be very serious. Even the reversal of this situation may take years to happen.
Benefits of consuming this drink
As we have already mentioned, there are several benefits that science has proven for those who consume in moderation the Green Tea. For example, several studies have proven that having a green tea drinking routine can lead to the prevention of breast and prostate cancer. In addition to contributing a lot to people's cardiovascular health.
Not to mention the well-known effect of green tea for weight loss, as it burns fat in the body. Therefore, we can conclude that the exact thing is not to simply stop consuming green tea. In fact, the important thing will be to know how to moderate it, how to reduce consumption to just two or three times a week.
