Unsweetened tea brings you the purifying effect of water, which helps remove toxins from the body.

 

Myth :

Some people think tea, or other drinks containing caffeine, have a diuretic effect (make you pass water more often) which would lower your body’s hydration level.

Truth :

Scientists have looked at how drinking caffeine affects fluid balance. Here's what they found: If you have a very large amount of caffeine in a single serving, the equivalent to the amount found in 5-8 cups of tea, you pass more water. If you have single servings of caffeine (at the levels you find in a cup of tea) it has little or no effect Regular caffeine users become habituated to the effects of caffeine, diminishing its action.
