For people with chronic kidney disease, green tea appears to be associated with a worse cardiovascular disease (vs. black tea), while black tea is associated with a roughly 10% lower of all causes of death against both green tea and not drinking any tea.

Why is black capitalized in the title? Is the a DEI article? 🙄

[Bikkuri]

Good catch, lol.

Ugggh! I’ve read tea is bad for kidney disease- now they say it’s good? I am stage 3, almost stage 4- it’s hard to find info on what to avoid or not- the info keeps changing.

[Bob434]

Although I shou,d probably avoid tea as the only way I can drink it is with 5 heaping tablespoons of sugar and a little heavy cream. The sugar would likely offset any benefit lol

[Bob434]

Green tea matters!

I wish I could get into drinking tea. It’s just not my thing.

I have no kidney problems so I’m sticking with my unsweetened iced Green Tea year-round.

Tea is a racisms too. Especially when you put milk into it:

Even tea drinking is cultural appropriation now. Oh mea cuppa…

I make my tea with green and black. That way I get the benefits of both

[CatOwner]

Not a fan of green tea. I do drink black tea, but I have it iced. Several times a week, usually at lunch. I have always been a light sleeper, and late night caffeine makes it worse.

[bgill]

Good. I like black tea many times over green tea.

I was just diagnosed with stage 3, biopsied last Wednesday don’t know results but Doc says mass on kidney is 9cm and kidney has to go and then dialysis.

[laplata]

I don’t like hot tea but love my green iced tea.

[Bob434]

Wow, sorry to hear that. They are removing the kidney?

I’ve been Stage 4, controlled, for the last 7 years.
2 years ago, I had a serious bout of stones, passing three large stones in 2 months.
Urologist told me to stay away from oxalate-laden foods and black tea is one of them.
Started in on green “Sun Tea” and haven’t looked back since.
I do take daily probiotics for the condition, too.

I was confused by the references to “oxidized tea”. I did not know without looking it up but green tea, black tea, and other types of tea are made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The main difference between them is how the leaves are processed. I think black tea is the same as “oxidized tea”, or at least it’s one type.

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What’s all these crazy questions they’re askin’ me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights ‘cause I don’t wanna see
