Moderation in All Things, People

Including drinking iced tea.
Doctors traced an Arkansas man’s kidney failure to an unusual cause — his habit of drinking a gallon of iced tea each day.

They ruled out several potential causes before stumbling on a reason for the 56-year-old man’s kidney problems. He said he drank about 16 8-ounce cups of iced tea every day. Black tea has a chemical known to cause kidney stones or even kidney failure in excessive amounts.
Almost everything is bad for you when taken to excess. Even breathing.

    I give up. They want me to quit smoking, drinking (I have), drinking coffee and now they are after my ice tea? Jesus wept.
