You'd have to drink a LOT of tea for it to have side effects.

any bad effects?


Well u get addicted to it so when u dont have it u cant concentrate, may shake/tremble. Main one for me is that i need a cup of tea say every 4/5 hours or i cant do anything. Makes me feel very tired when i have not had any-even though i have just woken up!:rolleyes:

Too much caffeine isn't good for you.

I thought it was zinc absorbtion? That's mainly if you drink tea while eating though

Theres' really not much of a risk from tea. Especially if you use teabags. The caffeine level in tea is very low- nothing like the amount in coffee. More than 4/5 cups of coffee a day would be worrying, i'd probably start worrying at about 30 cups of tea a day :P

There's still about 15-45mg in tea - coffee's about 60-upwards so it's not that much of a difference.
