Green Tea is supposed to be very good for your health because it's rich in antioxidants, although I don't think it would be very practicle to drink it exclusively from morning to night. So water definitely has its place.

For example: Because tea is considered to be a diuretic, many people don't want to drink it after about twelve noon. Otherwise, they would have to be getting up during the night to urinate. So when they get thirsty in the afternoon, they might drink water.

Another consideration: Some people can't drink tea unless it has some sugar in it. If that's the case, then you run the risk of canceling out all of the antioxidant benefits. If you are one of those who can't drink tea without sugar, then water would be the better choice.

Yes, I think the Liptons version of green tea is probably as good as any. (I'm assuming you're buying a box of tea bags and not the ready made.)

As far as how many cups you should drink per day: Everyone is different so you'll need to find out by trial 'n' error. Try one, two or three cups and see how it affects you. Then you can adjust it up or down.

Caffeine is an issue that I forgot to mention. If you happen to be sensitive to caffeine, you might want to buy the decaffeinated version. It won't be healthy if it causes you to lose sleep.

Re: Green Tea vs Water

No actually I was referring to the bottles of lipton green tea w/citrus flavor. I'm not one for hot tea and I'm not one for a decaf anything...I'm a very picky person and this is where I have my problems...foods...drinks...I'm trying to eat/drink right to loose weight as well as exercise.
