I drink anywhere from 4 - 8 cups of coffee each day. If I don't have any or if I do not have enough then I get a bad headache. I am addicted to coffee and love it!

I think its not good for your health because according to some research if we drink coffee more than 2 cups is not good for your health

Tea is definitely less harmful than coffee. In the health magazines I usually read, the articles kept saying a maximum of 2 cups of coffee a day is okay. But three or more cups of coffee is already bad for our health. As for tea, they usually recommend green tea the most. 3 to 4 cups of green tea is okay. That is why I drink green tea a lot.

well mine is just a pure guess as i dont drink coffee or tea at all,but if i had to pick i would say the tea would be much better for you, and it comes in so many different variteys, like there is sleepy time tea for those who cant sleep and i have drank it for that reaason there were a few good flavors but i still hate the taste of it.. but there is also green tea with ginsang, and i can name alot of other so i say tea is much better for you...

I am not much of a coffee drinker but when it comes to tea I normally drink about 3-4 cups other times I will drink water or milk. I try to stay away from things that could be harmful to myself. I know when I drink soda my belly will be all kinds of upset and not comfortable.

I don't drink any coffee at all, but think coffee is not so good to drink as tea.
Tea, not sure how many cups of tea that I drink in a tea but some days it can be about ten cups of tea. I love tea and am always putting the kettle on to make a cup of tea. No sugar, milk and just the right shade of brown please!!

Don't worry, My friend! Five cups of tea a day is not going to harm you in any way, drinking coffee or tea is not harmful to yuor health at all, either one is less harmful to you, keep drinking your tea or even change to coffee if you wish to do so in the future, it is not worth wasting your time worry about this matter. You will be fine whether you drink tea or coffee or both in a day, but make sure you don't drink either one up to fifty cups a day, then everything will be cool!

Well there are good an bad studies about both. I personally interchange them and end up with 6 or 7 cups of them between the two.
