My dude, what are you putting in your iced tea
Does tea demineralize bone? Can we get Chubyemu in here to last down some facts please?
It can, but you have to go wildly out of the norm for this to be so. Like, I have serious kidney issues, and I hate plain water. My nephrologist said me drinking 1-3 gallons of iced, and hot, tea per day is fine. The only time it becomes an issue is when you have have extremely concentrated black tea. Even then you would have to be drinking a lot of it, like a lot. He cautioned on tea mixes because those can add sodium, and of course not to use sugar, but that it would be little different than drinking water otherwise.
1-3 gallons seems insane to me. Sometimes when I get a little wild with Arizona my pee starts having crystals in it which is basically “Hey fuck off or stones are next.” I can’t imagine drinking a gallon+ a day and not being able to start a healing crystal shop with my dick.
Have you tried adding lemon juice to plain water?
I do it for the taste when our town water is over chlorinated (certain times of year), but I’ve heard that it helps prevent kidney stones as well.
Wtf is in that tea‽
Tea contains oaxalates which are a main component of kidney stones. However, most studies indicate that you would have to drink a ridiculous amount of iced tea to cause stones to form. I think he probably just developed them through usual means, did a little internet research and convinced himself it’s the tea.
And then continued drinking the tea that he thought was causing the kidney stones.
I’ve been using it pretty consistently for several years now. I think something about Lemmy attracts the type of people that use interrobangs, rather than Lemmy creating a culture of interrobang use.
What can I do?
Respect the people who clean up your solid waste in a urinal because you didn’t?
this is fucking cursed
Dude… drink more water.
