56 Year Old Man Dies from Kidney Failure after Drinking Large Amounts of Sweet Tea

[SeaBreeze]

Did you hear about the man who was drinking 16 (8oz.) glasses of tea every day?It caused calcium oxalate crystals to form in his urinary system, and caused his kidneys to fail. Black tea is known to have oxalate in it, and too much of this can harm the kidneys. Most people think that drinking something as common as sweet tea would be okay for you, but moderation is a must.

16 glasses of tea seems like a bit too much, wouldn't you say? Would coffee with booze be OK? LOL
