Health Canada is ordering a more explicit warning on labels of green tea extract products over concerns about the risk of liver injury. While green tea is often regarded as good for you, U.S. gastroenterologist Dr. Herbert Bonkovsky says green tea extract can be dangerous for some people at high doses. Julie Papineau, Madeline Papineau's mother, said she is pleased with the stronger warning on green tea extract products but feels it doesn't go far enough. Green tea extract is often a concentrated form. "It says green tea extract — most of us link that to healthy," Stewart said.
