Yes, green and white tea contain caffeine. I drink 4-5 cups of tea a day (green, white, or black) and it's made no difference in my weight. To lose pounds you'll need to cut back on calories and exercise.

The antioxidant content of various types of tea has been well studied. An analysis on 20 common brands of tea has shown that they contain widely varying amounts of antioxidants, which are known to help fight off cancer and heart disease among other illnesses.\n\nThe following teas were brewed for 3 minutes each and the antioxidant level is shown below:\nBrand of Tea Catechin content (in milligrams)\nCelestial Seasonings Green Tea 217\nLipton Green Tea 201\nBigelow Darjeeling Blend (black tea) 164\nUncle Lee's Green Tea 157\nStash Premium Green Tea Decaf 53\nTwinings Earl Grey Black Tea 46\nBigelow Constant Comment (black tea) 38\nBigelow Constant Comment Decaf 10\nLipton Lemon Iced Tea 0\nSnapple Peach Iced Tea 0\n\nThe overwhelming of all tea consumed in the U.S. is black tea. The processing method of tea may account for some of the differences in antioxidant levels. Green tea is commonly thought to have more antioxidants than black tea. This was often, but not always the case. Most scientists that have really studied this have found that the number of antioxidants in black tea is actually higher than what is found in green tea.

Did you know that White Tea is the new Green Tea? Yes! White Tea has even more anti-oxidants than Green Tea. I now drink both. But you wanted some green tea stories so here it is: A few years ago I started to drink a lot of green tea because I heard its health benefits. I noticed last year that if I drink alcohol then it just goes through me. I mean I get drunk, sober up and go through the hangover (and even throw up) in the space of just 2-3 hours, something that would take any normal person at least 10 hours if not more...When I presented this problem to a very knowledgable guy his first question to me was do I take lots of vitamin C? I said I didn't and questioned him on this, then he said that because Vitamin C have lots of antioxidants in it and that having antioxidants in your body can actually speed up the detoxifying processes including that of getting rid of alcohol, which is poison of course. I thought 'wow'! So green tea does help you with the everso popular detox thingy!

They can be effective in caffeine naive individuals.  The active ingedients (caffeine and epigallocathchen [EGCG]) in green tea or the extracts are calorie free and can help act as an appetite suppresant and inhibitor of the enzyme that breaks down catecholamines in your body.  The effect is up to 7% weight loss in some research groups after 8 weeks of use without exercise.

110% gÖd...taste nice....refreashing evrything......Is any other food or drink reported to have as many health benefits as green tea? The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression.  In her book Green Tea: The Natural Secret for a Healthier Life, Nadine Taylor states that green tea has been used as a medicine in China for at least 4,000 years.  \n\nToday, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.\n\nTo sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful: \n\ncancer \nrheumatoid arthritis \nhigh cholesterol levels \ncariovascular disease \ninfection \nimpaired immune function\n\nWhat makes green tea so special? \n\nThe secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots.  The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke. \n\nLinks are being made between the effects of drinking green tea and the "French Paradox." For years, researchers were puzzled by the fact that, despite consuming a diet rich in fat, the French have a lower incidence of heart disease than Americans. The answer was found to lie in red wine, which contains resveratrol, a polyphenol that limits the negative effects of smoking and a fatty diet.  In a 1997 study, researchers from the University of Kansas determined that EGCG is twice as powerful as resveratrol, which may explain why the rate of heart disease among Japanese men is quite low, even though approximately seventy-five percent are smokers. \n\nWhy don't other Chinese teas have similar health-giving properties? Green, oolong, and black teas all come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. What sets green tea apart is the way it is processed.  Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized. By contrast, black and oolong tea leaves are made from fermented leaves, which results in the EGCG being converted into other compounds that are not nearly as effective in preventing and fighting various diseases.  \n\nOther Benefits \n\nNew evidence is emerging that green tea can even help dieters.   In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland.  Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.\n\nGreen tea can even help prevent tooth decay! Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque. Meanwhile, skin preparations containing green tea - from deodorants to creams - are starting to appear on the market. \n\nHarmful Effects? \n\nTo date, the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine.   However, green tea contains less caffeine than coff
