| Tea and Reduced Risk of Kidney Stones |
Increased intake of fluids is routinely recommended for people who have had
kidney stones to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. A recent study that
followed 81,093 women for eight years suggests that beverage choice may also
affect kidney stones development. The study found that for each eight-ounce
cup of tea consumed daily by female participants with no previous history of
kidney stones, the risk of developing stones appeared to be lowered by eight
percent. An earlier study of 45,289 mean reported a similar relationship,
suggesting that for each eight-ounce serving of tea consumed daily, a 14
percent decrease in risk of stone development was observed.
