How Much Tea Can You Drink Before Your Bones Crumble

Thank you to Raycon for sponsoring today's video!

A 47-year old woman lost all of her teeth and had intense pain in her lower back, legs, and hips. Doctors found out that she was drinking a concentrated solution of tea every single day, but why would tea cause back pain? How do additives in our water help our dental health? And why do some regions have better dental health? Let’s get into it!

She had hyperteaemia. “Hyper” meaning high, “tea” referring to the beverage, and “aemia” meaning presence in blood: High amounts of tea presence in blood

A friend of mine was drinking over 40 cups of coffee a day, when all of a sudden the trees and plants outside his house jumped through the window and started dancing around his bedroom. He went to the doctor and told him that he hadn't been taking LSD, or anything, but the trees and plants outside were dancing around in his house. The doctor took a blood test and when he got back the results back asked how many cups of coffee did he drink in a day, anyway. My friend said over 40. The doctor told him cut it down to two. The trees stayed in the yard after that.

As someone who goes through 3-4 single tea bags daily, I’m just glad about the vast difference in quantity between that woman and I.

150. Bags. Of tea. One Hundred and Fifty. In one pitcher. A day. Every Day. Was 80 bags too weak for her? As she added in the 120th bag into the brew she asked herself "Is this too many?" and her answer was "Not nearly".

I cannot tell you how relieved I am as a fan of black tea with skeletal pain to hear her dosage was 100-150 tea bags a day. I no longer worry about the 4 cups I tend to have. Good gravy.

Did no one ever explain to her the principle of "every food/drink becomes poison if you consume enough of it"? Even if you drink excessive amounts of water it will cause problems as it causes minerals and other essential things to be "flushed" out of your body.

Okay, so, I like tea, so I came here to check how close I was to the danger zone. Turns out, this woman is around a hundred times more of a tea drinker than I am. Whew.

she became addicted. this kind of strong tea has intoxicating effect. in Russian jails it's called Chifir (or Cheefeer - during USSR times getting drugs into jail was next to impossible, so prisoners had to be industrious, but even they knew better not to drink it every fn day).

I lived in Japan. Very old women were permanently hunched over. They could not stand up straight as their spines had deteriorated. It was common knowledge that green tea was the cause. English black tea is made from the same leaves, just processed differently.

Me: A pitcher with a few bags seems like a lot but not a completely unreasonable amount...
Brew: ...100-150 tea bags every single day
Me: THAT'S A LOT OF TEA!

Such an interesting story! Fluorine is a poisonous gas, yet the ion fluoride prevents tooth decay. Sodium is a reactive metal, and chlorine is a poisonous gas, but sodium chloride (table salt) is vital for our survival. Your main message here is so important – everything in moderation is key. And a understanding of basic chemistry helps too!

I researched this subject for a tea blog post and all of this sounds right. The main risks for overconsumption of fluoride relate to drinking a very high level natural water source or combining high level tea intake with consumption of fluoridated water. Working through the numbers isn't that complicated; it's summarized in two Tea in the Ancient World posts. About two liters of tea a day might max out standard caffeine limit levels, or maybe a bit over that, and depending on sensitivity and body size that might work for a rough limit range for fluoride too, although it's been awhile since I've went through all of it. It's better to not ingest a lot of any one thing on a consistent basis; striving for balance works out better than a "more is better" approach.

Chunbyemu called. He wants his emia back.

I startled my husband with a loud OH MY GOD when they said how many teabags she used per day. I love unsweetened tea but I never used more than 8 and I didn't drink it in a day. I can't imagine how awful it tasted

I have severe fluorosis in my teeth so the enamel of my second teeth when they come up were covered in brown marks and severely pitted to the point that my teeth had to be capped. This was caused by when I was a child, my mother had a container of raspberry flavoured fluoride tablets, so I'd sneak into the bath room cabinet to eat one or two at times as they were like little lollies.

"Drank one pitcher of tea..."
Oh, that concerning, that'd be what, 5 or so cups? Sometimes I think that much tea in a single day.
"Made with between 100 and 150 teabags"
Oh never mind then

azuill

Huh, I thought I was a tea addict, drinking a whole pitcher a day made with two entire heaping teaspoons of loose-leaf tea. Some days tea would be my entire liquid consumption. Turns out I'm just a smalltime tea afficionado, but it's good to know how much it takes before it becomes a problem.

In Russian prisons, there is a tradition of preparing and consuming a very similar drink - Chifir. It i probably even stronger, though. Chifir is addictive (that's why the lady kept drinking it) and after prolonged consumption, it can cause similar effects to those described in the video, like falling out teeth.

alexanderdrude

This leaves me with one question— how many bags of tea does it take before a pitcher of water cannot absorb anymore? I feel like she would have gotten the same strength with fewer bags of tea, but how many?

MannyBrum

What's weird for me is, if you want so strong tea, why use tea bags instead of leaves? They are more economical, better tasting and at this point, it would probably be easier to use leaves.
