DESCRIPTION: Comparing up to 6 cups of caffeinated black tea per day to water, researchers study the assertion that tea acts as a diuretic and is not as hydrating as plain water. This is the second video of a four-part series about the latest discoveries on tea. See yesterday's NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day also (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-caffeinated-tea-dehydrating/). The nutrition without calories concept refers, not surprisingly, to my video Nutrition Without Calories (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nutrition-without-calories/). For more on caffeine myths see What About the Caffeine? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-about-the-caffeine/). For the antioxidant comparison of black tea to other teas, see Better Than Green Tea? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/better-than-green-tea/). The "less healthy beverages" line is likely an allusion to soda, about which I have a dozen videos, including Food Industry "Funding Effect" (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-industry-funding-effect/), Mercury in Corn Syrup? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mercury-in-corn-syrup/), Diet & Hyperactivity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-hyperactivity/), and Is Sodium Benzoate Harmful? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-sodium-benzoate-harmful/). Then there are 1,363 other topics to explore at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-caffeinated-tea-dehydrating/ and he'll try to answer it!
