IIRC, there is a threshold above which polyphenols become toxic to not only the liver but also kidneys as well. I believe it only referenced extracts, where the concentration is 5 times the amount in a normal cup if green tea.
It's a vague recollection...anyways, just wanted to pass that info along since I know you like to do research.
okay so that was lovely food for thought before bed last night. I did some mild searching online, and will more than likely check more later when I'm fully awake. So far what I found was in regards to GTE was the amount of caffeine can be quite dangerous. Luckily these are caffeine free. So I guess I need to be a bit more specific in my search but I'm still a bit tired at the moment. But I'll see what I can find, or if anyone finds anything.
