Too much black tea could lead to bone loss
 
Tea drinkers, beware. New research showed that drinking too much black tea could lead to bone loss and dental problems. 1 liter of black tea contains 9 milligrams of flouride. Normally, flouride helps prevent cavities but long term ingestion could lead to advanced skeletal fluorosis, a disease caused by excessive fluoride consumption and characterized by joint and bone pain and damage.

The safe amount is 2 - 3 milligrams daily (from toothpaste, fluoridated drinking water and food). So be sure to only consume 2-4 cups of tea a day to prevent bone problems.

Just black tea right? i mean I don't drink much tea but I have to make sure that it's only black tea.

I drink green tea.. It's a lot healthier than black tea. After reading this post, I'm glad I made the right choice.
