discussion title:
Iced tea causes more urination??
Question: Is there a chemical or some other substance in iced tea that makes you urinate frequently?
Tea is acidic and foods high in acid do tend to make people urinate more frequently and can an increase in the feeling of urgency to urinate. If the tea is caffeinated AND contains artificial sweetener that just adds to the irritating of the bladder.
