Are there any health risks for drinking tea all day?!


Question: Are there any health risks for drinking tea all day?
On an average day I drink probably 8-10 cups of tea a day. The tea i drink is black with non fat milk. I know that tea can stain your teeth but are there any more health risks? And yes my mother's side of the family is english but I'm American.

Thanks!

Answers:

There is a risk for getting too low iron percent in your blood.
Black tea that is fermented is potentially unhealthy in large quantities and depending on your state of health, Green tea is much better and contains a lot of good stuff but should not be over drunked either.
Everything that is over done, even too much water will cause unbalance in your system.

Tea is fine it's the sugar and caffiene that's bad.
if you like it sweet, that is a lot of sugar. The other thing to consider, is sipping tea all day isn;t good for your teeth either, can stain them and lead to decay if it is sweetened.



The answer to your question depends on your tolerance for caffiene. Black tea also has a considerable oxalate content. This is important if you are prone to kidney stones or have a family history of having kidney stones.



No, tea is a good drink. There's some caffeine but very little. It hydrates you it has plant oxidization powers, and it's got minerals.
Go for it. I'm drinking it now. Tea with milk . best drink ever.



Im a tea drinker as well , i have a lot of cups a day, there are lots of benefits to tea drinking so don't worry........ im just off to put the kettle on now!



Tea has high levels of Aluminium which has been linked to Alzheimer's.

At that amount, you probably also have a dependence on caffeine.



On an average I drink about 2 cups a day with low fat milk. But tea is good for health.
I think in your case it could result in weight loss since you consume more.



I am English. I drink tea all day long. I mean that. The time something different passes my lips is when I'm out clubbing...I don't see any issues that can arise from this at all....my nanna does this too!



Nothing, besides caffeine overload.



No....tea are actually a very good benefit. My mother gets very annoying, telling me to drink tea but ehh, its just not my cup if tea lol



u can get blind
