That is true, if you have a bleeding issue you may not want to drink green tea. My mother had a bought of ITP, which is fancy for low platlets for unknown reasons. Her platelet levels dropped to almost life threatening for a couple years and then they went back up. She had started drinking green tea because I sent her some, her doctor told her to stop.
