Dark chocolate tea – Ceylon and China Black tea, chocolate pieces and cocoa bean kernels, flavouringChina Green tea, spearmint.Rooibos Original, Rosehip, Mallow flowers, Mango oil.I can have anything between 3 to 6 cups of these each per day.Also I sometimes have one can of cola and/or one coffee per day depending on sugar cravings or coffee cravings.I dont add sugar to any tea or coffee.Is my caffeine intake too high?And is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?i.e. scientists have said it is bad for you to overdose on certain vitamins, could the same be said for the anti-oxidants in black and green tea?Many thanks.

A: http://www.thatsfit.com/2007/05/07/how-much-green-tea-is-too-much/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_teaAbove links say drinking too much like over 10 cups can harm kidney and liver. Everyone probably has different body systems because I cannot take over 2-3 cups a day because of the acid from green tea. Everything in moderation is good with diet….and life too.

Is there anything else grammatically wrong with this paper?

Q: My english teacher gave me my paper back to proof read and I did but can you see any other mistakes?Note: This is a paper on guilty pleasures.——————————————–The pot is getting hotter and the smell is drifting throughout the house, the coffee is brewing. This liquid is a very enjoyable pleasure with a warm taste. Coffee has bad attributes connected to its name, it can make you hyper, then make you crash. There are many rumors having to do with this subject. Yet if you use it responsibly, these side effects tend to not happen. Coffee may be considered a guilty pleasure because of such stigmas such as this, yet there are many more becoming properties. It is common sense that if you repeatedly drink dark liquids your pearly whites may no longer be pearly or white. Another downfall is that coffee can make you hyper, and then crash, it could also make you jittery. There’s the possibility of becoming addicted to caffeine. It has been said to stunt your growth. One of the biggest concerns, especially in the current economic climate, is the punches your wallet takes supplying this pleasure. Five dollars a day for coffee might be considered excessive . A pure health concern is the effect on the bladder. It is said to be something of a diuretic, which means that it makes you need to use the bathroom more.But as there are good things to be said about this delicious drink also. Coffee may be able to stain your teeth, but we have this wondrous invention called a toothbrush which would tend to counter act the problem. Just as well, coffee makes you look like you have ADD, but that is only if you overdose on it. A cup in the morning or during a cold time outside won’t hurt. Same goes of addiction to caffeine, if you do enough of anything, you will most likely be addicted. The word to live by is moderation. As for this pleasure cleaning out your wallet, it is just not true. If you invest in a coffee pot then your 5 dollar venti coffee could pay for a whole months worth of coffee in your kitchen. Even a jobless student can afford 5 dollars a month. It is quick to make. It is also wuick to reheat. This lovely liquid may make you feel like you want to go the bathroom a bit more, but this is nothing compared to the benefits that come from coffee. Coffee has been proven to prevent certain cancers like liver, colon and bladder cancer. Heart disease, reduce the risk of diabetes and even raise your IQ and short term memory. There is studies shown to help prevent Parkinson’s disease and treat headaches. It also prevents gallstones. Some of the risks can be cut in half. This is the cheap hypochondriacs dream drink. It even helps your blood stream to remove excess fat which equals weight loss. Last but not least, the obvious alternative for coffee would be hot chocolate, yet hot chocolate has nearly 500 calories a serving whereas coffee has more towards 10. For the reasons listed in the second paragraph family and friends do not realize why coffee if such a pleasure to me. My mother blames my great grandmother for giving me milk laced with coffee when I was four, and it’s been downhill ever since I worked my way up to black coffee. My father can’t even drink coffee black and doesn’t understand why I can. My friends just don’t understand its appeal. They all just list the same generic arguments, dark teeth and bad breath. Yet they can all down 5 sodas a day with caffeine and sugar and think it is all right, but one cup or thermos of coffee is horrible. I believe that they all hear stuff from the news that tends to emphasize and sometimes over exaggerate the negatives. It takes an avid coffee lover to understand what those who don’t drink it to understand. The only thing I listen to is they all think I drink it too much could have some validity since the nice ladies at Starbucks know me by name.Yet I refuse to recognize their arguments. With all the work that needs to be done with graduation coming up and then college, I’m sure a decent amount of all nighters will be coming up. I will need some help, this amazing drink is my help. It is now October and winter is coming fast, it shall be cold outside, sometimes downright frigid. It just makes sense to warm myself up from the inside as well was the outside. In some weird was coffee helps with my allergies. Warmth soothes the throat, and when my throat is scratchy, coffee helps like nothing else. Something that is purely superficial is the way that smelling it in the morning just makes waking up a whole lot easier. Last but not least, the cheapness of this drink makes it a very logical choice in my broke perspective. Coffee has many different attributes, some good, some not so good. But it is very obvious to me that the factual and personal points that say coffee is just a pleasure outweighs the factual and personal points that say coffee is a guilty pleasure. This is realized by the sheer number of reasons listed for each as well as

I dont understand, what about you?

Q: Many people always say that marijuana is bad. Marijuana is going to bring you down in life and you’ll never get anywhere. The only thing that bothers me is the people who have never tried marijuana say all those things. Now how can you EVER judge or even give an opinion about something if you have never experienced it yourself? You cant. Now for the people that have tried it and still say all those bad things about marijuana. Then ok, we get it, its not for you. But what about all the other people that don’t mind it at all. The people that actually enjoy it responsibly. Maybe if people were more educated about it the right way then people wouldn’t make up things and not abuse it.If it were legalized then it would be CONTROLLED. Meaning less chance of your kids going to get it from a drug dealer becuase the more its in stores the less people would by it from someone on the street and the less chance that drug dealer is going to be selling, no business. Also if its from a store then you know your getting safe marijuana. Not laced with harmful drugs. If marijuana wasn’t treated like a deadly drug then it wouldn’t be seen as a deadly drug. People who think marijuana is really bad for you probably haven’t looked at the research (much of it conducted by the government itself) objectively. They generally already have an idea in their head and they seek out only the information that serves to confirm their belief, if they seek out any info at all. There are numerous studies that show that marijuana is comparatively harmless. This does not mean that it causes absolutely no harm or is good for you. Marijuana can be harmful, just not like the government wants you to think. And I don’t think people say it’s never caused accidents. I’ve certainly not heard that argument before. What they say is there are no recorded deaths due to overdose of marijuana. The toxicity of marijuana is lower than that of caffeine. As for those who say it should be illegal because it is bad for you, get real. If it’s a health issue, then treat it as such. If we used a substance’s or an object’s general risk to health as a measuring stick for its legality, then imagine all the things we’d have to ban.So what about?

A: I have never tried murder, but I know that is bad. I have never tried suicide, but I know that is bad. The thing is, the people who have tried it, have fried their brains. So their opinion is not entirely to be trusted, and you have to take it in the context of a drug addict’s opinion. Doctors believe it is bad. The evidence is there.
