I used to drink a lot of coffee at work but recently I changed to drinking tea.
But isn't drinking 10 to 12 cups of tea bad in some way?

But then again, they seem to change their tune every couple of years.
I don't use suger but sweetener.Wardie said:Tea itself isn't all that bad for you I don't think, the sugar wont do any favours though.
Drop some and start drinking more water

eLbot said:Yes, I was being told that but it varies significantly. The confusion arises because when measured in its dry form, tea does contain more caffeine than coffee, but the caffeine content of a prepared cup of coffee is significantly higher than the caffeine content of a prepared cup of tea.
According to the Snopes forum there is a little overlap because of different makes, types, growing conditions, lots of annoying variables:
Coffee, brewed - 40 to 180 mg. per cup
Coffee, instant - 30 to 120 mg. per cup
Coffee, decaffeinated - 3 to 5 mg. per cup
Tea, brewed American - 20 to 90 mg. per cup
Tea, brewed imported - 25 to 110 mg. per cup
Tea, instant - 28 mg. per cup
