Freesky SK Lim said...

不过要提醒,喝太多会咖啡因过强。。。会导致neurotransmitter出现问题。。。还会有hypermania的现象。。。哈!张典齐博士说的。。。

Gwen Tan said...

绿茶含有咖啡因?

Freesky SK Lim said...

是啊。。。茶和咖啡都有咖啡因的。。。你不是不晓得吧???

Freesky SK Lim said...

茶与咖啡的咖啡因含量比较

速溶咖啡 19.70毫克/克
咖啡原豆 12.20毫克/克
日式抹茶 26.10毫克/克
绿茶 17.00毫克/克
袋泡茶 11.30毫克/克

这里有个有趣的数据,茶的咖啡因含量比咖啡要高些,或者说至少相当,也就是说一杯咖啡咖啡因约含180毫克。(国际卫生组织公布的日咖啡因摄取安全剂量我记得好像是300毫克)一壶茶需要茶叶大约也是15克以上,而且反复浸泡,估计其中的咖啡因的溶解率比咖啡还要高

Joey Chong said...

你是做哪一行?怎么懂酱多?不过我赞成阿鱼的说法,凡事不要吃过量,不多不少,只要刚刚好。

Gwen Tan said...

谢谢小强的资料。。想不到茶的咖啡因含量那么高,我还以为低过咖啡很多呢!这样,看来,不能叫月萍戒咖啡,喝茶了!!

Gwen Tan said...

Yeah.. Joey讲中我心底话!哈哈!

Joey Chong said...

Gwen Tan said...

Yeah... five... five... five ... five!!
