You Have Asked – is Green Tea Decaffeinated?

Is green tea decaffeinated or caffeine free?  A friend asked me that question recently and I was a little surprised.  But, it seems that many people think that the process that makes the leaves black increases the caffeine-content.  The truth is that the green varieties may have as much of the stimulant as the black ones do, possibly more.

30-50mg is what you’ll find in an eight ounce cup of the green varieties, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest.  An average of 47mg is what you’ll find in an eight ounce cup of a black variety.  Either is a better choice than coffee, which contains between 64 and 330 mg per serving, depending on the variety and the size of the cup.  330mg is found in a 16 ounce cup of Starbuck’s Coffee Grande.

If a person goes over 500mg per day from all combined sources including, sodas, over-the-counter medications and chocolate, he or she is likely to experience a number of unwanted side effects.  In fact, some doctors believe that anti-anxiety drugs and sleep aids are over-prescribed, when the logical treatment would be to reduce caffeine intake.

But, here’s another question.  Is green tea decaffeinated before it is included in health supplements?  That depends on the supplement.

Some supplement manufacturers actually add additional amounts, particularly those that are advertised as fat-burners and promoted as weight loss aids.  One of the popular fat-burners that are sold in practically every department store contains particularly excessive amounts.  If taken as directed, a person would get over 500mg, just from the supplement. Most people drink caffeinated beverages throughout the day.  So, an extra 500mg is simply too much.

Then, there’s another question.  If it does have a lower caffeine-content, is green tea decaffeinated safely?  There are a variety of different decaffeination methods used by beverage companies, but the most common requires the use of a solvent.  The most commonly used solvent is a possible carcinogen.

Some of the better health supplements contain an extract that is high in antioxidant content, but very low in caffeine-content.  Taking the supplement would add only 2mg per day of the stimulant to your current intake.  More and more studies are showing that small to moderate amounts of caffeine are good for your health.  It may reduce your risk of heart disease and Alzheimer’s.  It is only when intake is excessive that it becomes a problem.

Now, you know that “no” is the answer to; is green tea decaffeinated, at least the naturally occurring leaves are not caffeine-free.  The caffeine-content varies, as does the antioxidant content. 

If you are thinking of taking a supplement, your best value comes from one that contains a number of different antioxidant ingredients.  Resveratrol, coenzyme Q10, l-glutathione and L-carnosine are just some of the ones to look for.  Antioxidants are our best defense against free radical damage, oxidative stress and cellular aging. 

If the question of; is green tea decaffeinated comes up among your friends, you’ll have some interesting information to share.  Avoid the caffeine, take a supplement and live a longer, healthier life. If you have two minutes to spare, please take a look at my website now.
