I drink about 3 cups of tea a day. It's black tea with hilo (lite) milk and one spoonful of sugar. Is this bad for me?

Not bad at all.



Tea packs a ton of antioxidants so it's basically good for you.

However, you might want to drink a non-caffeinated herbal tea like rooibos tea for one of those three daily cups. Too much caffeine isn't good for you so you might want to balance that out.

Don't worry! A 1984 study found that drinking tea with milk or sugar is helpful to those prone to stomach upset.
If you drink tea with milk, try using soya milk. Soya milk contains lecithin that has a different molecular structure to casein, and so is unlikely to bind to tea catechin the way casein does.

The tea alone isn't bad for you. It's very healthy (see link below). However, you should go with organic tea. If you can switch to a decaf tea at least for one cup, that would be good...too much caffeine isn't good for you. Also, sounds like you're getting way too much sugar throughout the day. Have you thought of switching to Splenda and/or decreasing amount of sweetener?

I have 1-2 cups of tea per day. :) I LOVE tea.

The caffeine can be bad for you. Perhaps try only having one cup of regular and two cups of decaff. The problem is that your body will develop a dependency on caffeine which is bad for you. Sometimes tea can have more caffeine than coffee, so moderate a bit. Otherwise there's nothing wrong with it.

I'd love some help, please!

The tea is fine. Many people all over the world drink at least 3 cups a day. I'd be more concerned about those 3 spoons of sugar a day. Please try to cut down on that. You could try stevia instead of sugar but stay away from those artificial sweeteners.

Tea has a lot of anti-oxidants and rare minerals in it. It is VERY good for you. You would have to drink a serious amount before it was harmful, a lot more than 3 cups.



Tea is wonderfully healthy.

One thing- my aunt is predisposed to get kidney stones, so she had to stop drinking it altogether. That's rare though.

Drink up!



That is not bad at all. Tea is good for you , it has lots of antioxidants



It's good for your health.



Yes, now do something healthier like meth.



Not really.
