It's been been noted here before that too much green tea may cause some liver damage. Here is a European study that verifies that. Strangely for me is that I take four capsules of 200 mg EGCG and that is the exact exact amount - 800 mg per day - the study names as the maximum dosage before risk damage becomes too high

Well not too strange - I always did live life right on the edge! (this a.k.a. sarcasm)
