Does lipton green tea cause kidney stones?

I drink Lipton green tea quite regularly, almost two cups a day. Recently, someone told me that green tea can contribute to kidney stones. Is there any truth to this?

I drink Lipton green tea like three times a day to balance out my heavy weekend dinners! As far as I know, unless you are drinking ten cups a day, it shouldn't cause stones. Just enjoy your warm cup and keep drinking plenty of normal water too.

I once ignored mild lower back pain thinking it was just gas, and it turned out to be a 6mm kidney stone. Don't try to guess if it's the green tea or something else. If you have any dull ache or discomfort, go get an ultrasound done immediately.

Green tea does contain oxalates which can contribute to stones if taken in huge quantities, but a cup or two is fine. Try drinking fresh coconut water and barley water to flush out toxins. But if you have severe side pain, please see a doctor right away.

Moderation is the key in yoga lifestyle. One cup of warm green tea in the morning is highly beneficial for digestion, but abusing it will cause dryness and heat in the body. Balance it with plenty of plain water and simple breathing exercises.

Actually yaar, green tea has oxalates which can cause stones if you are already prone to them. But daily one cup of Lipton is totally fine, don't worry. Just don't treat it like a substitute for actual water, okay?
