  • Careful with Matcha Green tea. Green tea extract has been known to cause liver failure. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-14/man-faced-death-after…

      That turned into a rabbit hole adventure for me. Looks like you need insane doses like that guy was consuming in a supplement. There’s the documented benefits of green tea (particularly its ability to prevent certain cancers) so it’s not a reason to knee jerk and quit anything with a green tea extract. As always, consult your doctor.

      Yeah, nah. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11786-green-tea-can-b…

      Green tea is good for you, but only if drunk in moderation. While the polyphenols in green tea are credited with preventing heart disease and cancer, it seems they can cause liver and kidney damage if consumed in very large quantities, a review of studies into the toxicity of polyphenols has shown.

      “People shouldn’t be too alarmed by this, but those taking supplements may experience problems,” says lead author Chung Yang of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.

      He stresses that up to 10 small cups of green tea a day is fine. Problems are likely in people who take supplements, which can contain up to 50 times as much polyphenol as a single cup of tea.

      Yang’s review cites experiments in which rodents and dogs died from liver poisoning when given very large doses of polyphenols. He also reports cases of people with liver toxicity after overdosing on green-tea-based supplements. Their symptoms disappeared when they stopped taking the pills, only to return when they started taking them again (Chemical Research in Toxicology, vol 20, p 583).

      Figuring out how much is too much, though, isn't an exact science, says Christopher Hobbs, M.D., an herbalist who specializes in holistic health. "Many of the cases of hepatotoxicity from even purified and highly concentrated foods and herbs act in an idiosyncratic way. That means that they will affect one person as a liver toxin, while many others are not at all affected," he says. "The body deals with and utilizes these compounds in very different ways. How your liver will transform and eliminate or utilize many natural compounds is determined by genetics, but also what else you are eating and drinking."

      Does this mean you have to worry every time you have a spot of tea? According to Sonpal, probably not. "Green tea is incredibly safe for the most part," he says. "It's rare for hepatotoxicity to occur with daily normal consumption. It's when you start taking highly concentrated doses that we run into problems."

      In most cases, one or two cups a day isn't cause for worry, but if you're supplementing your four coffees a day with double the herbal tea, you may be entering dangerous territory.

      But this doesn't mean we have to cut out tea time all together. A cup or two a day is probably nothing to worry about. However, if you're downing herbal teas like water, Sonpal recommends having a conversation with you physician and letting them know the types and brands of tea you're drinking to make sure you're safe. Or, if you've become a matcha maniac (guilty as charged!), it might not be a bad idea to check in with your doc since matcha is a concentrated form of green tea. "They can help you understand how much of a good thing is too much," he says.

      Too much of pretty much anything will damage something eventually.

  • I thought some of the images looked familiar in the matcha book. They seem to be taken from here (a blog that I refer to often):

    https://www.justonecookbook.com/matcha-tiramisu/
    https://www.justonecookbook.com/green-tea-white-chocolate-co…

    The ingredients for those recipes look different in the e-book, so I wouldn't expect things to turn out the same. Just be aware.
