“I am an active YSA, 22 years of age having being diagnosed with a PCOS for 5 years now, and it affects my weight and fertility. A nutritionist recommended I drink green tea. I have asked several church representatives and have been given several answers, so am slightly confused as to if it is ok or no.” (Tamara)
Generally speaking, green tea — as is any tea derived from the Camellia sinensis plant — is against the word of wisdom. Whether you drink it or not for a medical condition is a personal decision, in my opinion, for you to make. If you make a decision to drink it, you should consult your leaders to make sure it would not jeapordise your temple recommend.
It is highly likely you won’t need any specific product. My wife, for example, has had PCOS for over 20 years. She managed to lose over 100 lbs without a single product and we have three children (over 12 years mind you). All she used was nutrition and exercise.
