Is flavoured ice tea bad for you if you drink it all the time like everyday?
lipton peach flavour or lemon flavour or how about flavoured green tea
Answers:
too much corn syrup in it for it to be healthy
even the green tea whiuch says contains honey and ginseng has corn syrup as a sweetener
If you boil tea, and add some lemon or some peach juice etc, it is not bad at all. But the commercially sold ice-teas have too much sugar and artificial flavourings, so they are as bad as the rest of the industrially made refreshments.
If it is sweetened with sugar or high fructose corn syrup then it has too many calories. Most people need only 1800 to 3000 per day depending on your size and activity level.
If it is artificially sweetened, some people think there is some sort of risk if you over consume artificial sweeteners.
If it is unsweetened, (my choice) then have at it!
I think those drinks when in moderation are fine but pretty much they are like any type of soft drink they usually contain high amounts of sugar. Plus those ice teas I have heard are not proper tea beverages. So it's best just to drink occasionally.
*Try normal tea might not be as tasty however it is very good for you. Hope that helps. :)
Better than soda, not as good a choice as unsweetened tea or water.
