Does drinking organic green tea cause kindey stones? or help it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seems to reduce risk: More research is needed but there is good reason to believe that consuming green tea reduces risk of kidney stones- see http://www.Webmd.Com/kidney-stones/news/20091120/green-tea-may-prevent-kidney-stones previous reports that iced tea (black, not green) increase kidney stones are unsubstantiated- see http://www.Healthnewsreview.Org/2012/08/iced-tea-kidney-stones-and-the-study-that-never-existed/.
