Is ice tea healthy?

Question

I've been really addicted to ice tea lately, but I also try to mind my health and stay slim. So is it ok to drink ice tea every day? I realize drinking water of tea is better, but ice tea is not as bad as soft drinks, or energy drinks, right?

The brand i buy contains per 100ml, 27 calories and 6.5 grams of sugar.... is that bad?

Answer

Iced tea is very healthy as long as it isn't sweetened. That is where the calories add up. Unsweetened iced tea, depending on the brand, has zero calories. If you want more flavor to it then add a lemon but no sugar, honey, or any sweetener. Blue agave is ok, however, but don't use very much. A little bit goes a long way.

Answer

I suggest you drink it every night, before going to sleep. May you stay healthy.

Answer

Less or no calories - If you are drinking unsweetened iced tea, it often has no calories. While this is not directly a health benefit, this does make it more beneficial to drink unsweetened iced tea versus a soda or other drinks that are heavy in sugar

Answer

Why is ice tea unhealthy? It is healthy. Just don't add too much sugar. The caffeine in tea is much less than coffee.
