in fact it is not. Health Canada states that a balanced diet can include a moderate intake of caffeine with a recommended daily limit of between 400-450mg. While the caffeine levels in tea vary depending on the blend and how long it is brewed, the average cup contains only 25-34mg of caffeine. This is great news for tea lovers, or those who are looking to make the switch from other beverages to the health smart choice of tea, because according to Health Canada’s guidelines you can consume approximately 10-12 cups of tea every day! Another misunderstood aspect of caffeine is that it promotes osteoporosis by reducing bone mineral density (BMD) however; current scientific research concludes that this is not the case. While not conclusive, some studies suggest that tea may in fact strengthen bones and play a positive role in bone health. Therefore, not only is caffeine nothing to be concerned about when consumed in moderation, by drinking tea you are receiving numerous health benefits and protective properties from its antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids and catechins. Caffeine has its own benefits as well, including its ability to increase alertness, improve mental and physical performance, stimulate metabolism, which aids in weight loss and increase dopamine levels, which helps to elevate your mood.å
