The dangers of (too much) tea

While sipping my afternoon cuppa I chanced upon an article on Pubmed...a case of tea overdose.

A lady was complaining of loss of appetite and weight loss to her doctors. They could not find a cause for her symptoms and in the end suggested she cut down on her two litre per day tea consumption. Her symptoms improved and she regained the lost weight.

The readers with a medical background might be interested to know that the only laboratory abnormality was an elevated CA 19.9.
