Question: Is tea bad for your health?

Could you develop health problems from drinking too much tea? I'm aware that tea keeps you awake and whatnot. I usually finish a microwaved tea with milk, sugar, and the teabag within three minutes. I've caught the H1n1 for the third time since December and I'm starting to feel that I'm getting the symptoms again. I'm staying home from school of course, and I woke up around 2am and still awake 7 hours later because of my nasal congestion. Perhaps 30 minutes after I woke up I had an urge for tea and a tissue. I thought if I should make two cups of tea instead of one, only because I can barely walk downstairs to the kitchen due to the H1n1 symptoms. I thought God had sent me a gift and was put right in front of my eyes, four clean mugs and a mixing bowl my mother possibly left out for my sister to put away after school. I filled all four mugs up with water and made four cups of tea, I poured all the tea in the mixing bowl itself, and I am still in the process of drinking the tea. I am wondering if this will cause a health problem if I drink too much tea, I know I am supposed to have an equal portion of at least some different categories of protein, vitamins, and whatever. I do not have health problems to begin with, I am 130 lbs and in shape, I get exercise, and I am asking for nice advice please! Thanks for the advertisements

You don't want to drink too much tea because you don't want to get too much caffiene in your system. It can cause anxiety, nervousness, irritability, mood swings, interrupted sleep, cardiac arrhythmia, headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea and constipation. You should probably be drinking white or green tea because of the antioxidants but some research suggests that black tea can be just as healthy (they arn't positive though). Having a little caffiene can also boost your workout.
