according to you most Americans are in violation of the Word of Wisdom just based on their size alone. I was specifically referring to green tea being used to help a person lose weight. I have yet to hear from any church authority that being overweight will keep you from receiving a temple recommend, but partaking of tea will, so how do the two actually compare, and by the way, there are many other things that can cause a person to be overweight other than overeating. Even following the word of wisdom cannot always prevent obesity.

I would rather be fat and heading to the Celestial Kingdom than skinny anywhere else. I have struggled with this myself trying to justify taking supplements that contain green tea that are proven to help my ailments but I have felt strongly that to follow the word of wisdom, I shouldn't partake of tea. Unless the Lord tells me it's OK, I'll stick to what has been said, by him through the prophets. Tea is tea whether in supplements or as a beverage, tea is tea.
