WARNING: Do Not Drink Too Much Iced Tea
Video by Dr. Willie Ong (Internist and Cardiologist)

A 56-year-old man from Arkansas drank a gallon of iced tea every day. The patient developed kidney failure and had to undergo dialysis treatment.
Tea contains a chemical called oxalate, which can form kidney stones when taken in excess amounts. The kidney stones caused the patient to develop kidney failure.
Drinking too much sweetened iced tea can also cause diabetes and obesity. A glass of iced tea contains up to 7 teaspoons of sugar.

Drinking plain water around 8 to 10 glasses in a day is still the best.
