(8/8) reports, "People who drink iced tea may be putting themselves at
greater risk for developing painful kidney stones," according to new
research from Loyola University Medical Center. The authors of the study
"explained the popular summertime drink contains high levels of
oxalate, a chemical that leads to the formation of small crystals made
of minerals and salt found in urine. Although these crystals are usually
harmless...they can grow large enough to become lodged in the small
tubes that drain urine from the kidney
to the bladder."
