Well, the best kind of tea for you is green, I believe, but they're all caffienated. I hope green is the best. I am stocked up the keister with it Haha. But red teas like the ones out of Madagascar are really good for you as well. I am not very accustomed to their taste (pitooey), so I stick to green tea (with a dab of honey). White and black teas are the ones with the caffiene and not many antioxidants... so, theoretically, they're all mostly water and caffiene... but the green and red teas have the most antioxidants per punch than the others.

yes it is, but also if you haven't had tea before and your body wasn't used to it the tea can have a stronger "side effect" too. the Frapp shouldn't effect you too much. I worked at Starbucks and that stuff is mostly sugar. if you had the coffee based ones, its made with espresso powder not coffee coffee.

i don't think you have anything to worry about.  Too much of anything is dangerous, one guy killed himself by drinking too much water and not going to the bathroom.  Basically, to drink too much green tea to hurt you, you would probably have to drink it all day every day for a while without going to the bathroom.

Yes Tea can give you Diarrhea if you drink to much because of the caffeine in it some are weaker in the stomach then other and other teas like green tea and other ones be careful they say they help but you have to watch if your stomach is weak

Yes you are still getting your daily water intake, Crystal Light or no. U can eat fruit & that still contributes to your water intake...not by much but it still has water IN it u know? Its OK to dilute with Crystal Light but too much of the artificial sweeteners such as aspartame can be a nuisance to your health, particularly your lower region (colon, etc). I dont like lemons in my water either so I drink my water ICE cold otherwise I wont drink it either, although they say that water closer to room temp is better because your body absorbs it faster. Actually I bought this big 72-oz cute plastic container from Walmart for like $2. I use that as my goal. If I drink at least 1/2 of that a day I feel better. It makes a difference drinking more water. LIke you, I was an avid soda person too but I notice that when I drink water I feel better physically. Not as tired, clears your face up, it regulates your 'movements' if you will, its beneficial in many ways. Try drinking it cold. Oh yeah, if you have a Sams Club/Costco where you live, buy a case of bottled water. I kept a case in my trunk during the winter months & it would be ice cold by the time I got one. When I am at work & dont have my little plastic container, I try to challenge myself to drink at least 2 bottles of water (0.5L or a pint) during my shift. I usually end up drinking like 3 1/2 though. Hope that helps!

Yes, water is very good for your health..It gives you healthy skin, hair, and all around healthy body...\n\nYou should drink 8 glasses of water a day..So if you are drinking 5 bottles of 9 oz. water..you will be okay..\n\nAnd like the person above said..there is such a thing as drinking too much water, but you would have to drink way more than five bottles of it to get water intoxication..Unless you have some other illnesses such as liver disease, but I'm guessing you don't cause then you would know when you should resrict water...\n\nBut the answer to YOUR question is YES that is healthy for you\n\nHope that helps..

It is nothing but TEA - now called MILLENNIUM DRINK which helps cancer - read-\n\nThe most promising health drink of the new millennium may be one of the oldest known to man--tea.\n\nIn the late 1980s, a visiting professor from China handed researcher Dr. James Klaunig a jar containing a powdered material.\n\n"You should try this to see if it prevents cancer in your systems," the professor said, and walked away. Dr. Klaunig put the jar on a shelf, but later experimented with it in cell cultures and found to his surprise that it blocked biomarkers of early cancer development. When the researcher sought out the Chinese professor and asked him, "What is that stuff?" he was told it was dried powdered tea.\n\nDr. Klaunig, now director of the Division of Toxicology at the Indiana University School of Medicine, has studied tea ever since. And he is not alone. Researchers around the world are scrutinizing this popular drink. Their studies are gathering evidence that tea offers protection from cancer and may also reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.\n\nIn Japan, where green tea is already popular as a cancer preventive, tea is even added to breads and other foods. At the Second Symposium on Tea and Health held in Washington, D.C., last September, Japanese researchers reported that drinking large amounts of green tea reduced recurrence of cancer in previous breast cancer patients.\n\nIn another study, a Chinese researcher developed a tea mouthwash that caused regression of precancerous lesions in the mouth.\n\nDr. Klaunig also presented a study at the symposium showing that tea reduces oxidative damage in the human body, and that it is especially effective in people who smoke. "Smokers have very high levels of various types of oxidative damage, such as damage to DNA," Dr. Klaunig says. His research showed that after smokers drank tea for as little as one week, their oxidative-damage measurements were significantly reduced. Tea lowered oxidative damage in smokers an average of 40 to 60 percent, reducing it to the level of that found in nonsmokers before drinking tea. "It was pretty dramatic," Dr. Klaunig said-.

Studies have shown that tea in general is a natural antioxidant. It used to be thought that green tea only had these qualities, but now its understood that plain old black tea has the qualities too.\n\nI drink both black and green tea. (any brand) and I put a slice of lemon in it for the limonine.  I try to have at elast 3 mugs of this per day

Just make sure you dilute it with water BIG TIME!  The herbs are pretty powerful....especially for a 2 year old.  Good for you for introducing your child to herbal teas though!!!!!  I have a 2 year old as well I think It is way better than Kool-aid or chocolate milk....YUCK!

Remember that in order to lose one pound per week, you must eliminate 3500 calories from your diet. This can be accomplished easily for you since you are working out regularly and making healthy choices for meals.  \n\nTea itself, is very good for you and has many positive health benefits. On the other hand, sugar in tea is pretty much just empty calories.  You probably don't even realize how many calories you are consuming each day just from the sweet tea, especially if you drink it a lot like you say.  I would try to replace a few glasses with plain old H20 or even a diet soda, but if you absolutely, positively must drink sweet tea I have a few suggestions:\n\nTry sweetening your tea with honey and lemon. Honey is lower in calories than sugar and also contains many vitamins and minerals.  Honey has other great health benefits too.  It helps regulate your blood sugar, which is very useful during your long evening workouts; instead of giving you that quick jolt of energy-then crash, like sugar does. And it is full of antioxidents that fight bad free radicals that cause cell damage in your body.  (I just had a college nutrition class last semester!) Just be careful not to feed any honey to your baby.  Infants can contract botulism from honey. Just to be on the safeside, I also wouldn't suggest it if your still breatfeeding.\n\nAnother decent natural sweetener that I use is Super Stevia extract. Stevia is a plant that is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar.  It is calorie free, saccharin free, and aspartame free.  The downside is that it does have a little bit of an aftertaste if you use too much, sort of like licorice.  You can find stevia extract in health food stores and places like Trader Joe's if they are near you.\n\nSplenda may also be a better alternative, however it definately doesn't have the added benefits like honey does. It is made from sugar and is available almost everywhere now.\n\nAlso, try and stay away from fruit juices that are not 100% juice.  I have a little trick that I do with 100% Juices to cut down on the calories for myself, mainly with orange, grape or cranberry.  Since they are generally strong flavored juices, I add water or fresh brewed tea to my juice glass.\n\nLastly, don't deprive yourself too much of the things that you love. And don't feel guilty if you have to have that glass of sugary sweet tea everyday. In order to be succesful in the weight-loss game, I think that you need to indulge every now and again, otherwise it's too easy to fall off course.  Good Luck!

i recommend certain types of organic teas without any sugar. there are teas for fasting and detox which do the trick. They usually contain dandelion and dont taste the best.

I don't know anything about Tsaang Gubat Tea but I know a little about experimentation.  Have you tried to repeat the experiment using a tea that you are certain has caffeine?  This will tell you if perhaps your chemicals are outdated or something.  I suppose it is possible to find a tea with an immeasurable amount of caffeine although it's unlikely unless it has been unnaturally altered to remove the caffeine.
