What are the negative effects with over consumption of Green Tea?

Eating green tea can actually be healthier for you than just drinking the liquid brew. Why? 2 reasons:

1. There are some components of green tea that are not water soluble. Instead they are fat soluble. This means that no matter how long you brew the tea, these components will not be absorbed by the water. You actually have to eat the leaves, preferably with some small amount of fat so that your body will get the benefits of these materials.

2. For those healthy parts of the tea that are water soluble, you can't be assured of getting all those components out of the tea by brewing them. You are likely to throw away some of the goodness when you throw away the leaves/ teabag.

Eating or drinking green tea are both very healthy and to be encouraged. But eating the whole leaf allows you to experience more of the health benefits.
