That's a lot of tea in one day. It's always wise to take anything in moderation, especially when health is concenred. How about you switch to iced water instead? Or add a bit of honey to it so it tastes sweeter?

im same with you, as its hot inside the house i always drink a lot of water but sometimes if i drink just water i feel that im losing my taste bud already and so i wanted some juice in it. so i make cold ice tea with a lot of ice cubes in it to make me feel so refresh. theres nothing wrong with ice tea as its more healthy than soda

I never tasted it, so is it so additive. Let me try it tomm and nice to hear it has anti oxidants. I am reading about green tea so far, let me give it a try.

It's not actually bad. Recent research conducted proves that Ice tea is better that plain Water for it retains water in the body while maintaining your cells hydrated. However it is contraindicated to people who suffers from Interstitial Cystitis. This disease is chronic and is of unknown cause which results in inflamed bladder that tends to bleed. It is also contraindicated to people after Abdominal Surgery and especially TURP (Transureathral Resection of the Prostate)for it irritates the bladder that inhibits the fast healing. I am also addicted to Iced tea. But I suspect my self to have Interstitial cystitis. Don't worry I am now undergoing diagnostic procedures to really determine it.

LOL I love the stuff too and can easily drink 10 glasses a day when the weather is hot. I have, however, tried to reduce this a little as too much of anything can be bad for you. I keep a bottle of water in the fridge at all times now.

Months before I love drinking Iced tea, but now I stopped it after reading some news that it is loaded with lots of calories, so right now I switched to canned pineapple juice and fresh Kalamansi juice. Iced tea is not really advisable to drink more than two glasses a day because of its high calorie contents, better drink canned pineapple juice.

Well as long as its not sweeten Ice Tea is should be ok. I drink Sun green tea or sun regular tea all day everyday. I love it and its so good for you with so much antioxidants in it. I usually have a cup of regular tea first thing in the morning. Then all day I will drink the Sun Iced Green Tea and then about two hours before bed I will have another cup of tea. I love it and can not see myself ever giving it up.

I don't have any idea from a medical stand point, but mostly what I hear is that tea is good for you and has lots of healthy advantages. I know when I was on Weight Watchers, it was zero points!

Last summer I drank so much iced tea that it made me sick! Needless to say I haven't had any since. Like anything, you just need to be sensible. Everything becomes unhealthy if you consume too much of it. Nothing is better at quenchig a thirst than water. I wouold suggest trying to cut down on the iced tea, even though it is delicious.
