Can you believe some bottled green teas contain food coloring to make it more "green"?
normally, green tea is not green. Bottled green tea sometimes contains food coloring to make it more green or an acceptable color because the natural color might be offensive...what do you think of that?
Answers:
I'm glad you're so observant. It's best to just make your own green tea, anyway. It's easy....more affordable, and better for you! Just take two or three bags and steepin a few cups of hot water on the bottom of a container. Then add honey or sugar to taste...then fill container first with ice, then cold water to top off! Save old bottles and fill and put in the fridge. If you're in a pinch I'd say that it's fine to buy the store bought green tea but I'd buy the sugarless kind...because the calorie content in sugared green tea is too much. The food coloring shouldn't really be that bad for you, not considering most of what people's diets are like. If you're really health conscience, then it's an issue.
Many companies market things that are so deceiving...it's all over the place. You need to read every nutritional label and become familiar.
But green tea is very good for you!
