My wife has cancer and she is losing too much weight. Does drinking tea make you lose weight?

Answer:

Craig, I am sorry to hear that your wife has cancer.

Yes, drinking tea does cause weight loss, and sometimes this can be undesirable. For most people, the effects is small, cumulative and wholesome.

But for a small population of people, and especially when combined with exercise or with illness, the effects can be rather drastic. As a natural thin person, I have always found drinking too much tea can cause me to lose too much weight.
