livertox.gov is a clearinghouse database for reference, much like a drug reference book. It's like not allowing PDR information because there is not current research on aspirin. There's also a difference between asking for better sources that are likely available because someone is referencing legitimate medical information and taking the information down entirely because of your pique. If you would go to pubmed, the green tea page is listed as updated 2018. Green Tea. In: LiverTox: [1] [2]This one is with plain green tea. [3] This one is black tea, but there would be little way to know if there was green tea contamination. [4] And there's more [5] [6] [7] [8] [9][10][11]
It is appropriate for tea health effects because it can happen from consumption, especially with teas that are supplemented, as well as other things that are labeled to include "green tea". It is not off-topic in the least. It is a risk, albeit rare. And the "medical advice" which is: don't re-expose if negative reaction prior is a pretty far stretch to have an issue with it. In some ways it functions like an allergy, and it is common knowledge that continued reexposure has the potential to amplify negative effects. That could be changed wording if that would make you happy, but it is not grounds for removing the information whole cloth.
Those who have an idiosyncratic drug reaction to green tea extract are told to never expose themselves to green tea in any form ever again. That means checking cosmetics, gum, textiles, soaps, shampoos, flavored water, and really almost everything. It is not a dose dependent reaction. Prior to my liver failure, I had never been exposed to green tea period, so there's no way to know whether I would have reacted to plain green tea or not. I'm not going to ever re-challenge myself because again, I was days from death the first time.
The health effects of tea is not labeled to be solely a "benefits" listing, or "frequently occurring" listing, but the health effects. Is green tea extract composed of tea? Yes. It is. Does it very rarely cause severe life-threatening reactions? Yes. It does. You seem to be making a value judgement about it being a potential negative.
And finally, while it would be appropriate to include it in catechin research, it is also a substance composed entirely of tea so it is completely appropriate to also be present in discussions of tea. --Sapphiremind (talk) 07:43, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
