| Subject: Too Much Iced Tea Blamed for Man's Kidney Failure Sat Apr 04, 2015 12:12 am | |
| After a 56-year-old man experienced kidney failure, his doctors discovered that his habit of drinking excessive amounts of iced tea every day was likely the culprit, according to a new report of his case.
The man's kidney function has not recovered, and he remains on dialysis, said Dr. Alejandra Mena-Gutierrez, of University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, who treated the patient and wrote the report of his case. The authors of the report stressed that moderation is key when it comes to drinking tea.
"We are not advising against tea consumption," Mena-Gutierrez said. "If you are healthy and drink tea with moderation, it should not cause damage to your kidneys."
