Why too much matcha can strain your liver, heart and nutrient levels
Matcha's popularity as a health drink masks potential downsides of excessive consumption. High intake can strain the liver due to concentrated catechins like EGCG, interfere with nutrient absorption, and impact heart health through increased caffeine. Additionally, whole-leaf matcha concentrates fluoride and heavy metals, posing long-term risks. Mindful moderation is key.
