One time when I was checking out a tea shop in San Francisco's Chinatown the two young dudes running it (they were probably just out of high school or still in it; it was their parents shop that they helped out at) were eating some greasy noodles and kept telling me about how people in China stay skinnier despite heavy carb diets because constant tea drinking coats their stomach lining and prevents them from absorbing toxins and unnecessary fat. I'm extremely skeptical of these claims, but if there's any truth in it maybe you'll be fine since you drink a lot of tea.
