"I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks."

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
