Ever wonder about 'Green Tea'?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28118673/ It's interesting to see all the hype about 'Green Tea' and it's uses. However, in a modern society, where many people rely on modern medicine, prescriptions, and therapies, it is important to check on drug-drug interactions, mechanisms of the interactions, and consequences. Many herbals and supposed 'natural' therapies are not benign. Many, although they have been in use for many years in multiple cultures, were used traditionally for purposes that are no longer incorporated into the information presented in the 'hype.' Also, mechanisms of action, lethal doses, and other important information are not discussed. 'Green Tea' is a perfect example. For those being treated for a variety of diseases by the modern medical community, along with those who might be vulnerable to the downside of the mechanism of action, 'Green Tea' is not appropriate. It's important to check with a reliable resource to determine if 'Green Tea' is appropriate for your consumption. For example, a person being treated for Parkinsons should see the interaction for 'Green Tea' and a person with arthritis or cancer being treated with Methotrexate should see the interactions for 'Green Tea.' If those two do not convince a person that 'Green Tea' is not a benign substance, nothing will.
