JohnJ said:I have been drinking around 6 cups of Green Tea per day as all good for many reasons…
BUT, my levels drop to around 4 at around 4 each day and have discovered that Green Tea can lower blood sugar levels and in fact people have died from too much?
Apparently you should not exceed 4 cups per day. I intend to check further about this.

Where did you hear/read that people have died from drinking too much Green Tea? The following article (which is a good read) does promote the benefits of green tea but also finishes with a precautionary note for those with existing conditions and taking certain meds.
