I'm on a diet and I know that green tea helps you lose weight. So, I thought why not just eat green tea? So I've been dumping the green tea leaves inside the teabag into cold water and drinking it. I told my mom this and she said you're just supposed to only drink the tea leave's water. But I don't think so. If you're drinking the tea leave's water, then why can't you just eat the green tea leaves as well? I think it's more beneficial to you. Am I wrong??? Tell me please! <3

well, i think it does no harm
if you eat green tea leaf
i mean... it is just like eating a saland
basiclly it is just raw vaggie ... right?

98% of teenagers do or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy & paste this in your signature.

If you just eat the green tea leaves, um isn't it bitter? Haha.

Like if you take the TEA LEAVES.

But maybe if you take the ACTUAL PLANT it'll be good.

I don't know.
Never tried it before haha.

i dunno...its like taking something raw. think of it this way. say alcohol...theres a certain percentage in liquor and stuff...and it doesn't necessarily kill you...but if you consume 100% raw alcohol, you can seriously get hurt @_@ but umm...its not really good to mix leaves with cold water cuz it doesnt sprout...it needs to be hot to stimulate the leaves O.o; i dunno how u can do that haha.
