Abstract in brief

  • Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has potential health benefits for managing central nervous system, cardiovascular, metabolic diseases, and cancer, but it can also cause side effects like liver and gastrointestinal issues, especially when consumed on an empty stomach.
  • The safety of green tea during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in susceptible individuals is limited, as its main components are not major teratogens or carcinogens, but caution is advised.
  • Due to its wide range of drug interactions and selective toxicity toward cancer cells, green tea could be considered as an adjunct in cancer therapy, but more research is needed, and consumers should be aware of potential toxic effects.]
