6. Maybe the caffiene?

I think it's supposed to be lower in caffiene than black tea, but I can drink diet cola, coffee, & iced tea all day without jittery feeling & when I tried drinking 3-5 cups green tea per day, I was really wired.

Sadly, I have all 5 of the risk factors mentioned, none of which tend to cause symptoms...

But I'm happy to say I found a high quality, reasonably priced decaf supplement that will deliver the equivalent of the 5 cups / day with very low caffiene. Of course, I ordered it right up!

I can let you know how it sits on my stomach if you are interested.
