Very Green Tea

We've all heard the pros about Green Tea, but I've always wondered; Is there anything bad or unhealthy?

Green Tea is supposed to help you go to sleep if you drink it before bed. And I heard it gives you energy in the morning. However, I used to drink alot of green tea and it gave me frequent kidney stones. And so I quit drinking it and haven't had a kidney stone since. Maybe it's just me that had that issue, But for the most part it's good for you.

i recently quit drinking soda in favor of diet lipton green tea. my thinking is all that sugar found in soda cant be good and now i hear that an ingredient found in most diet drinks are harmful. i just cant win.

I made the same switch, and while it is true that the sugar substitute used in the green tea may have shown issues in testing, you need to be aware that the testing is NOT what happens in real life… the amounts ingested to cause us the same problem that were found in labs are astronomical. Meanwhile there are large amounts of antioxidants in green tea and those help to ameliorate the possible effects of the artificial sweetner. I drink it without concerns.

I just came back from the library where I picked up:

Ultimate Billie Holiday

i take all these per day

2 x Odourless Garlic Tablets
1 x High Strength Cod Liver Oil
1 x Fluoxetine (anti depressant) 20mg
1 x Korean Ginseng
1 x Ginklo Biloba
2 x Slow Release Vitamin C
1 x green tea
2 x CLA
3 x glucosamine
2 x aloe vera
2 x artichoke
2 x royal jelly
1 x pro biotic digestion
i only take 1000mg of cod liver oil

The supplements would all be fine together… but Fluoxetine isn't a supplement, it's a generic prescription form of Prozac.
If you wanted to find out if any of those would interact with the drug, your best (and safest) bet would be to ask a pharmacist if there are any interactions listed between the drugs and supplements you're taking. Doctors and pharmacists both have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not…. anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn't always accurate, as we all know)

Also, the "high dose of Cod Liver Oil" could be a concern, depending on how much you take. I would be careful about getting more than 5-6,000 IU of Vitamin A or more than 1,000 IU of Vitamin D daily from it. Good luck!

[edit]: Oh, yeah, 1,000 mg of Cod Liver Oil is a very good amount… all the supplements looks good, then, but I'd still check with the pharmacist about the Fluoxetine.

i have cystic acne. It is acne under the skin. and it creates bad scars. the doctor is retarded, and doesn’t even care. I can’t see a dermatoligist cause of money, and I have used MANY acne treatments. I have neutrogena, the wave, and acne systems like terminator, acne free, boil stuff, etc. But i have extremely sensitive skin, so I can’t use a lot of stuff. I think pro-active will be the same, and we can’t keep wasting money. I have red scars that are big on my face and nothing seems to rid it. I wash my face all the time, and take antibiotics, but it just seems like when I get one side healed it scars, and the oother side breaks out. HELP!!! It looks the worst under bright light, I dont want to go to school like this… Doctors help! any home remedies? Especially for scars? I don’t have the money to get laser surjury, and I know that the scars can go away somehow. I use stuff with green tea- is that good? I REALLY need GOOD advice, because a lot of people think I’m not clean. And I also have enlarged pores, Ice doesn’t help that much, any remedies for that? this whole thing started when I used a facial mask, any tips?
We don't have health insurance, because my mom is disabled, but she makes $40,000 per year,through someplace that gives her money (im really not sure where though) and she would have to pay 400.00 per month to cover it, because health insurances says that we make too much. And my dad doesn't live with me. But we can't really afford a lot of stuff, because of gas prices($50.00 to get our tank 0.5 full) so basically, we don't have anything to cover big bills. My mom had a lot of money because of a loane, but we used that money with stuff "and" some to help my face, but now we our getting tight on money. So we can't really buy that much more stuff, that would be why i'm looking for home remedies.

you should treated by deramatologist
Treatment
A doctor must treat cystic and nodulocystic acne. Powerful systemic medications are usually required. Acne of this severity can be hard to control. Don’t be discouraged if the first treatment attempt fails. It may take several tries to find the treatment or combination of treatments that work for you. Some common treatments for nodulocystic acne include:
Oral antibiotics
Accutane (isotretinoin) oral drug is taken twice aday for 16to20weeks
it is believed to markedly reduce the size of the oil glands so much less oil is produced so as aresult the growth pf p.acnes is decreases
it also reduces cell shedding and the stickness of cells in the follicles,
which help prevent the development of comedones
Oral contraceptives - for women
Surgical excision and drainage - A doctor makes a small incision in the skin and extracts the infected material.
Intralesional corticosteroid injections - Medication is injected directly into the lesion to reduce inflammation and shrink the blemish

In school the other day I noticed that a kid sitting next to me had a pro-Soviet Union shirt on. I have enganged in friendly conversation with this kid on several occasions so I decided to ask him why he would wear such a shirt. When I asked him why he would wear a Soviet Union shirt and told him, in a calm voice, that the Soviet Union sucks, he took great offence. I did not know it but according to him, he was born in the Soviet Union. So I said that he and his family should know how much the Soviet Union sucked because they witnessed it first hand he went crazy. He kept making wild accusations about my intentions. I tried to end the conversation by saying ok lets just be quiet. He told me to shut up and I said try to make me shut up. If you did anything to me I could beat the crap out of you. THEN all of a sudden he reached for the glass green tea bottle that he had and smashed it over my head. I did not retaliate and it really hurt. Do I have an a win-able assault case against him?
I live in NJ if that makes a difference.
I live in NJ and plz I don't care if I should have kept my thoughts to myself. The first ammendment allows me to share my thoughts and i should not have to worry about getting mugged everytime I say something controversial.

just calm down and try not to offend any irrational former soviets if you can.

You could technically win a case, but think about it and ask yourself if it's really worth it. He'll probably assault another person later and get charged.

So im looking to loose weight here, heres my meal and workout plan, my main question is this: I need to be taking fish oils, green tea pills and a multivitamin, keep in mind that im 15 going on 16 in Feb. What is the safest way to go about these pills?
Plan:

Meal 1 - Shake w/ 3 Raw Eggs (60g protein, 2 bananas or 2 apples medium sized)
Meal 2- Beef/(60g protein, 1-2 bananas)
Meal 3- Shake w/ 3 Raw Eggs (60g protein, 1 tablespoon olive oil…take it straight don't mix with shake.)
Meal 4- Beef/Veggies (60g protein, big salad with Italian dressing)
Meal 5- Shake w/ 3 Raw Eggs (60g protein, 1 tablespoon olive oil)
Meal 6- Chicken Or Tuna (60g pro) / Fish Oil 15g

Cardio 3 days a week on off days from lifts

Week 1 - 2 sessions on elliptical for 5min as hard as you can go, 1 session on treadmill walking 3mph at 3.0-5.0 incline for 45min

Week 2- 2 sessions on elliptical 10min hard as you can go, 1session treadmill the same

Week 3- 2 sessions elliptical 15min hard as you can go, 1 sessio
Workout plan :

Monday - Workout A
Wednesday -Workout B
Friday - Workout A

Workout A
3×5 Squat
3×5 Bench Press
1×5 Deadlift
**2×8 Dips

Workout B
3×5 Squat
3×5 Standing military press
3×5 Pendlay or Bent Rows

This is unbelievable. You eat 6 meals a day? 9 raw eggs daily? Looks like you are taking in too much protein. Each gram of protein gives you 4kcal, haven't taken carbohydrates and fats into consideration. This looks more like a body-builder diet to me (proteins are required for them to build muscles).

You should count your calories properly and make sure you don't eat more than you burn. Otherwise all effort will go to waste.

As for your workout plan, if your objective is weight loss, then you should convert all 3 sessions into 45 mins on treadmill. 15 mins elliptical cannot really be considered as cardio, sounds more like power training. An effective cardio session has to be 30 minutes or more.

As for all the pills, I don't see the necessity eating them cos you look more like over-nutrition.

Sorry to be so negative, but just don't want you to put in any hope for such a bad plan.
