A word of caution though - iced tea
contains high concentrations of oxalate, one of the key chemicals that lead to
the formation of kidney stones, a common disorder of the urinary tract that
affects about 10 percent of the population in the United States. Nearly two
million Americans drink iced tea daily - so that's a lot of kidney stones! Just
two glasses of iced tea daily is safe and with the addition of lemon into your
homemade iced tea, you will be perfectly okay. Why lemon? Because lemons are
very high in citrates, which inhibit the growth of kidney stones. Men
unfortunately are four times more likely to suffer from kidney stones - so be
sure to add plenty of lemon to your man's iced tea.
Conclusion. Moderation in all things - like
my granny used to say. Invest in a vacuum flask and start brewing your own iced
tea. The environment and your body will thank you. And the nearly $1000 you
save every year? Take a vacation, it's what most Americans need more than
anything.
