Théderboard
The world leader is probably a 700 pound woman in Alabama drinking sweet tea. You can get type 2 just by being in a room with her.
THAT'S NOT TEA THAT'S SODA
Not carbonated tho, just the equivalent sugar content
I do not know the beef behind this message but it sounds like there's a lot of really angry tea parties behind it.
I think they were talking about actual tea
Can confirm. I drank basically nothing but sweet tea from the ages of like 10 until I was in my mid twenties, only supplementing with mountain dew.
Yes, I am diabetic, and my teeth have suffered. I drink almost exclusively water now. But Jesus, if you grew up in the south in the 90s and 00s, I don't remember anyone but my mom ever drinking water, and even she drank almost exclusively coke.
Considering how much tea some people drink, the person who's actually #1 probably knows they're in the top 10, surely.
The person's drinking more then anyone they have ever met for starters. That would raise some suspicion in that circle of people.
I have about 4 pints / 2ish litres each day, so I reckon I'm placed high on that list.
You're gonna have a bad time with kidney stones, if you're not already.
That's simply not true. If it was, the whole of Northern Ireland would be struck down with kidney stones. Tea is not great for you if you have them, but it doesn't cause them in everyone.
From my quick searching I've seen pretty mixed answers. The studies I found seemed to say that it didn't contribute to kidney stones, the extra water offset the extra oxalate and some even said the risk of kidney stones was lower. But that was for "moderate amounts".
Tea and coffee in moderation are not a problem. While tea and coffee do contain some oxalate, the extra fluid outweighs any possible disadvantage. In fact, some studies suggest that drinking moderate amounts of tea and coffee can actually lower the risk of kidney stones. In general, if you do drink caffeinated beverages, keep your daily amount of caffeine to no more than 400 milligrams. That's equal to four or five cups of regular coffee.
A meta-analysis based on 3 studies showed that the relationship between tea consumption and kidney stones was borderline nonlinear, with a 4% decrease in the risk of kidney stones for each 110 ml/day increase in tea consumption [15].
Interesting.
Everybody is probably at the top of a leaderboard for some very niche thing.
I bet that same person leaves a bunch of half cups around. I want categories. Most tea drank when every cup is drank to the last drop.
We don't need categories; just go by mL consumed.
Best I can do is British ounces.
in my mind it was like real men drink the bitter dregs :)
I kind of stopped doing it that often, but the usual cups and mugs are too small for me, so I drank te out of a 0,5 l mug. Most of the times, I wouldn't do that in one approach, so I had some cold tea left later.
You may not know that you're at the TOP of the leaderboard, but you probably have a pretty good idea that you drink a lot of tea.
I know it ain't me. i overindulge in coffee instead
Hmm, now I'm afraid to know what the most American individual would be. Sugar? Oil from deep fried foods? It's probably simpler to just go based on BMI.
Well,
A) logically someone has done the most X in Y so long as one person did X one time there. Like, not only would there also be someone in the US who drank the most tea, there's also someone in the UK who shit the most this year too, and the US would have their own most-shitter, and then the most-shitter in the entire world may be one of those two guys, or they may be the most-shitter from China or even Luxembourg. Same for "playing volleyball" or "stubbing your toe," ad nauseum.
B) In the US the real question isn't sugar but HFCS, we barely have real sugar here unfortunately due to a revenue generating scheme dating back to like the 50s or some shit.
