Which has more caffeine - Dt. Coke or Green Tea?

Which has more caffeine - Dt. Coke or Green Tea? Given a choice, which cold drink is "better" for you?(i.e.

Less caffeine, less sugar, more health benefits)I currently drink several Dt. Cokes per day, but I am considering switching to green tea. Thoughts?

Suggestions? Thanks! Asked by KuriousKat 57 months ago Similar questions: caffeine Dt Coke Green Tea Food & Drink > Drink.

There's more to the equation than just caffeine, as you note. Overall, green tea is the better choice. I usually consult this index for caffeine content.

According to that list, the caffeine content of Diet Coke is 45.6mg per serving, while green tea clocks in at 15mg. That's a little misleading, since the caf content of tea is heavily dependent on brew time, number of uses of the leaves (each subsequent cup of tea brewed from the same leaves will contain about half the caf content of the previous cup, more or less) and so on. Tea has a high antioxdant content, which is a huge benefit of switching.

Also, make sure you're drinking a tea that's either unsweetened or diet (i.e. No high fructose corn syrup). Tea also comes in a variety of flavor combinations...you can get it flavored with wolfberries, ginger, blueberries, etc.The tea, unlike the Coke, will contain no phosphoric or citric acid, and so presents another benefit to your digestion.

I recently made the switch to tea. I won't say that on really, really bad mornings -- like when the toddler gets me up at 4am -- I don't need the occasional cup of coffee. But 9 days in 10 I get by with no coffee or soda at all.

My acid reflux, which used to be regularly aggravated by what I was drinking, has subsided to nothing. I couldn't be more pleased. Lipton's Diet Green Tea in citrus and mixed berry flavors is decent.

Arizona Tea makes a great diet green that comes in a huge pony can for a buck. I like that as well. Hope this helps!

Decaffeinated Diet Coke has less caffeine than green tea. But green tea is probably better for you. Decaf Diet Coke is just flavored water with a sugar substitute.

Green tea has nutrients that are good for you, plus a little caffeine, but not enough to do any damage. See chinesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa0... for the lowdown on what green tea can do for you. I drink Decaf Diet Coke on occasion because it tastes good, and is refreshing.

But I also drink a couple of cups of green tea every day for the health benefits. I buy decaffeinated green tea, which tastes the same as regular. Bigelow makes a good decaffeinated green tea.

Green tea has multiple benefits Green tea has less caffeine than soft drinks and has many touted helath benefits especially for your digestive system. Be aware that you may suffer some caffeine withdrawal symptoms at first when cutting back caffeinne such as headaches and fatigue. They go away after the first week or so.

Just be prepared for them an dyou may want to switch slowly rather than all at once cutting back completely on caffeine.

There is no question that freshly brewed green tea is healthier for you than diet coke. However, if you're compared diet coke to a bottled green tea, they're probably pretty similar. The antioxidants in tea break down over time, starting shortly after the tea is brewed, so bottled tea is unlikely to give you the same health benefits as freshly brewed tea.

Furthermore, many bottled teas are loaded with sugar or artificial sweetener. The caffeine content also varies widely. For some green teas it can be less than would be in a similar serving of diet coke, but it can also be higher.It's impossible to generalize.

My recommendation? Avoid all processed drinks, including soft drinks and bottled tea. Drinking freshly brewed tea is great, and if you want to drink it cold, brew it up ahead of time and then drink it (within a day or two so it's fresh).

If you're on the run and don't have time, you're best off just drinking water. More info on bottled teas and why to avoid them:ratetea.net/topic/bottled-tea/4/ net/topic/bottled-tea/4.

If you drink tea that bad do you need to go to the hospital.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
