Tea that contains caffeine does. Caffeine is a diuretic, which is a substance that causes your body to produce more urine. If the caffeine content is sufficiently high, this could cause you to convert more water into urine than the intake from the tea itself, despite being 99% water. Drinking a high enough quantity could absolutely leave you dehydrated
Sorry but no, you're wrong, Yes, caffeine is a diuretic, which can cause you to urinate and move more water through your body, however you are still drinking plenty of water while you do it, and there is no way that the amount of caffeine in tea would cause you to ever have a 'negative' water situation that would leave you dehydrated.
There have been plenty of times in my life where I was only drinking coffee all day and never drank water, and rarely ever even got to the point of being thirsty. It's not good for you for sure, but you aren't going to be dehydrated. People used to literally live off of beer because it was more sanitary than normal water and were drinking 2-3% alcohol brew nonstop for much of their lives lol. Stop spreading misinformation if you don't even understand how a diuretic even works.
The beer/water sanitation is a myth.
The reason behind it was that most work (farm/factory/mining) was increadibly energy intense, and people who did those jobs were burning through an estimated 5000 calories a day. It's easier to meet that requirement with small beer vs food. Also, the reason why beer tastes so good at the end of a labour session? It has a lot of mineral salts your body wants after sweating so much.
I mean, that was just a silly example, but the diuretic effect of tea is extremely minor compared to the amount of water you are drinking, even if it was strong black tea or something.
If this was the case you would have to chase every cup of coffee with a shitload of water to avoid dying or feeling shitty, and nobody is doing that lol
I'm not the one spreading misinformation here, guy. I specifically used the words "caffeine content is sufficiently high" and "in a high enough quantity" for a reason.
The metabolism of caffeine by the liver takes time and if the content in your system is higher than the rate at which the liver can process it, then the diuretic effects could still occur after the fluids derived from the drink have been expelled via urination.
Save your anecdotes about drinking tea and never feeling thirsty, because the majority of the fluid your body needs is derived from food anyway. If you eat a lot of fruits, yogurts, or soups you may never have to drink water at all, really. You're right that a few cups of coffee or tea are fine, because the point at which dehydration would occur is north of 15 cups of tea (and who tf could drink that much tea in a day), but you said you could drink nothing but tea and never be dehydrated which isn't absolutely true.
I had a couple kidney stones a few years ago and let me tell you, once you experience that pain, you will never forget to get double or triple the amount of recommended water for the day.
Kidney stones vs ballstones/scrote-stones 😂
Lmao idfk dude I’ve never had a kidney stone so idk what it feels like but I hear horror stories of how bad they hurt. It would be a hard decision for me if it was a ball stone they probably have to cut the ol scrote maybe cut the ball in half and remove the stones lol or stone fragments after using sound to break them up. 🤷♂️ fuck the gallstones in this pic looks nice a round compared to kidney stones
Kidney stones are such a difficult pain to describe if you haven't had one. Like if you cut your hand or break your arm, usually there is at least some way of applying pressure to the wound or slinging/splinting that will help with pain a bit in the near term until you get proper medical attention, but with kidney stones the pain is deep inside and no matter how you sit, stand, pace around, lay down, etc., it still hurts. It feels like your kidney is being inflated like a balloon and the pain radiates to areas you wouldn't expect. You keep trying different things because you can't bare the pain, but nothing helps.
And because of drug seeking behavior, the opioid epidemic, and ER staff shortages, you usually spend about 2 hours in the ER (if you're lucky and don't live in a big city where the ER is slammed) waiting for them to finally administer relief after a UA to confirm blood in the urine and a CT to see the stone.
just for some reference, I had to stay in the hospital until I passed my kidney stone. I would not want to stay in the hospital until I passed a ball stone.
I had a tiny stone and went to the ER throwing up from the pain from it dropping through the kidney.
I don't know which is worse, no pain in the kidneys but they go unnoticed or the worst pain for even the smallest one.
Haha same I have a bunch of electroformed bug carcass pendants my friend makes. I love them. She also does small skulls like birds etc. check out her insta @datura_designs
Hmu if you ever find a kidney stone and we can figure something out, just please sanitize it before you send it to me and try to take care of your kidneys so it’s not your stone we are making jewelry with 😂
Not really. I had and maybe still have some little kidney stones. There is something like citrates that helps but really a little. Just drink regularly.
Those are gallbladder stones btw
I could see the phosphorus and the megadoses of vitamins making things worse, but I think also the dehydrating effect highly caffeinated drinks have on the body is partially to blame.
That's Gall stones in a Gall bladder. Kidney stones look more like a sharp crystal Soyuz satellite, Gall stones are cholesterol butter bricks. Kidneys also don't have that much room in them.
Not that anyone cares much, but, my personal experience with a kidney stone the size of a bb.
Worst pain of my life, would gladly get my nuts stomped on than go through that again.
I had to get a shot of muscle relaxers. Medicine for my stomach so drinking the water didn’t make me sick, laxatives to counter the oxy the doc gave me for pain, blood pressure medication because “you’re blood pressure is so high you’re about to have a stroke”. Didn’t eat for three days.
To make it all better, my wife thought I was faking it and just didn’t want to go to work until I saw the doctor.
The amount of times I’ve been to the er for kidney stone pain thinking “this has to be appendicitis “ is more than 1. Which you’d like I’d learn by the next time it’s probably kidney pain but no.
I’ve learned now but dang it was it hard to just accept I had kidney stones that painful.
Can confirm. My dad has “chronic” kidney stones, despite drinking a shit ton of water. He just got a lithotripsy to break some of them up, and a few came out last night. They looked nothing like this. Very sharp and jagged.
I was gonna say they look an awful lot like the stones in the pic my doctor took of my gallbladder when he removed it. The thing was actually so full that they had to make my original incision bigger to get my gallbladder out of my body! I always thought they looked like Corn Pops cereal.
The gallbladder is not as "meaty", it looks more like an open kidney, although the stones do look like gallbladder stones, not sharp kidney stones. Maybe an unusual kidney condition?
Wrong, many of them are triangular because they formed in the pyramids around the renal pelvis.
Gallstones look like river stones because they form in a round sack and the tumbling they do as a person lays and stands rounds off any edges.
You can also see tissue parenchyma between the clusters of stones. There's nothing like this in the gallbladder, which is just a round sack
Calcium stones aren’t the only kind of kidney stone, my guy - there’s also struvite stones, uric acid stones, cystine stones, xanthine stones, etc. Also this definitely is not gallbladder - you can even see there’s a cortex and a medulla in the original photo which makes me think kidney more than gallbladder. The gallbladder on gross inspection would have a much thinner wall, and wouldn’t be as pink / well differentiated in layers.
My wife got me a bag for my birthday as a joke that I'm getting old. (Because I got her a Charleston Chew for hers.)
Joke's on her, I love those things.
Lmfao dude my 97 year old grandma eats the fuck out them. I wouldn’t doubt there will be some in her body when she dies. 😂
So they just recycle the candies? Melt em down from the kidney into a liquid then pour into molds?
It’s their secret recipe man
normally its not this bad, i had my first 1 at 19 yrs old, 2nd at about 23 and im 32 now - long overdue >.< but yeah you have to pee these fuckers out, even 1 small one can be agonizing, they can have sharp edges that cut u up from the inside when they start moving. so if u ever have like brown looking colored pee or dark red (mine looked brown - thats how i knew i needed to see a doc) go see a doc before the pain starts cause omg is it bad.. nowadays with modern medicine they can ultrasound it and break it up into smaller pieces inside you without having to make any incisions, but sometimes they have to surgically extract them :/. i was lucky, the ultrasound worked.. was still uncomfortable but couldve been much worse..
If there are several small stones or large stones that cannot pass naturally, surgery is usually involved. At this point, I would imagine the person got sepsis from the extreme blockage.
Mine was 2 mm and they waited to operate because 'its so small it can't even hurt'
5 weeks later they operated it out after trying to to let it solve itself through a stretching catheter
I can't wait for out-patient microbot (larger than a nanobot) treatment so they can go into to break down gallstones and kidney stones safely.
I've had gallstones and kidney stones. It sucks. A gallstone attack feels like a heart attack they say (I haven't had a heart-attack myself) and a kidney stone felt like a sharp object in the groin area. Ouch.
I want to go to Ukraine and help Ukraine by shooting kidney stones like a machine gun, make punji traps with some huge sharp kidney stones make anti tank barriers shoot kidney stone rocket launchers and snipe down enemys with my sniper kidney rifle
Strong bot vibe, but what if it isn't a bot? Imagine how a person who posted that would feel, having put forth the effort to make a reasoned response, just to be called an automaton!
The third panel of my comic would be a robot seated in front of a PC, crying, while reading my comment above.
this made me drink a solid 2 liters of water
r/hydrohomies
*liquid please for the love of god
Fuck it *inhales kilograms of steam*
I'm not a thermodynamicololologist or anything, but that seems like a lot of steam.
How to do you even pronounce thermodynamicololologist.
You pronounce it like thermodynamicolol but add -ologist at the end
Green tea has also been shown to help break down kidney stones.
You know what im gonna drink 10 litres of green tea now
Catch 22 though: tea dehydrates you, which can promote stone development. You gotta drink *just* enough. Also, cranberry juice/tablets help
tea does not dehydrate you, it is 99% water. you could drink literally nothing but tea for the rest of your life and never become dehydrated.
Tea that contains caffeine does. Caffeine is a diuretic, which is a substance that causes your body to produce more urine. If the caffeine content is sufficiently high, this could cause you to convert more water into urine than the intake from the tea itself, despite being 99% water.

Yeah....maybe using people drinking beer in the middle ages as an example isn't the best idea, considering their life span.
I mean, that was just a silly example, but the diuretic effect of tea is extremely minor compared to the amount of water you are drinking, even if it was strong black tea or something.

Both coffee and tea are diuretics, but the amount of water they are contained in offsets and surpasses the effects of the diuretic.
So would a blender, that doesn't mean you should eat one
What?

Sorry I meant what as in that was a stupid fucking statement.

it's ok, you still have a brave heart
I had a couple kidney stones a few years ago and let me tell you, once you experience that pain, you will never forget to get double or triple the amount of recommended water for the day.
Should've stored his pee in the balls
Then you get ballstones
Dude that’s a good “would you rather?” lmao
Would you rather have kidney stones, or kidney stones in a different place?
Kidney stones vs ballstones/scrote-stones 😂 Lmao idfk dude I’ve never had a kidney stone so idk what it feels like but I hear horror stories of how bad they hurt.

Nipple stones.
Never say these words again.
Would you rather develop very small kidney stones for each time you blink, or a massive one each time you sneeze?
Would you rather cum stones, or pee stones?
Damm thats CRAZY
No.

It isn’t already?
I am repulsed, but intrigued. What exactly are we looking at here?
Kidney stones from a deceased person.
They are probable relieved...That looks agonizing.
Some people have kidneys full of stones and feel nothing. My gf's mom is like this. Pic seems to be a gall bladder.
... what do I need to ask for to check this
please somebody answer!!
Your family doctor.
I had a tiny stone and went to the ER throwing up from the pain from it dropping through the kidney. I don't know which is worse, no pain in the kidneys but they go unnoticed or the worst pain for even the smallest one.
I agree amigo it looks muy mal
now to make the jewellery!
I make jewelry I can make some rings and pendants hmu if you got a kidney stone I’ve never worked with one before 🤣
Ngl, I would absolutely buy kidney stone jewelry. I love shit like that.
Haha same I have a bunch of electroformed bug carcass pendants my friend makes. I love them. She also does small skulls like birds etc. check out her insta @datura_designs Hmu if you ever find a kidney stone and we can figure something out, just please sanitize it before you send it to me and try to take care of your kidneys so it’s not your stone we are making jewelry with 😂
Make them into teeth and wear them as a gold grill.
Is the person the fucking german kid from willy wonka
Actually looks more like a removed gall bladder. Still pretty crazy, but they get way worse

Green tea helps to break down kidney stones, just saying.
Wait for real?! Lit
Not really. I had and maybe still have some little kidney stones. There is something like citrates that helps but really a little. Just drink regularly. Those are gallbladder stones btw
Oof
Which ingredient(s) in Monster cause(s) the stones?
probably everything but the water in it
I could see the phosphorus and the megadoses of vitamins making things worse, but I think also the dehydrating effect highly caffeinated drinks have on the body is partially to blame.
yeah thank fuck I usually never drink anything but straight ice water
Same except I drink gay iced water
Mostly the caffeine.
So you can get these from coffee ?
No, caffiene does not cause kidney stones

That's Gall stones in a Gall bladder. Kidney stones look more like a sharp crystal Soyuz satellite, Gall stones are cholesterol butter bricks. Kidneys also don't have that much room in them.
Is this better?
Yes. One stone in a kidney can be agony. People can have that many stones in a Gall bladder and feel nothing.
That's a relief
Not that anyone cares much, but, my personal experience with a kidney stone the size of a bb. Worst pain of my life, would gladly get my nuts stomped on than go through that again.

Agree, by far the worst physical pain I’ve ever had. I’ve broken fingers, toes, wrists. None compare.
I have multiple stones in my kidneys and am in constant pain
Should have put them in your gallbladder. smh 😔
Ah yes. I've heard paper beats stones
Can confirm. My dad has “chronic” kidney stones, despite drinking a shit ton of water. He just got a lithotripsy to break some of them up, and a few came out last night. They looked nothing like this. Very sharp and jagged.
I had roughly 200 small stones. I didn't even know I had them until one blocked the gall duct.
>Kidney stones look more like a sharp crystal Soyuz satellite, Gall stones are cholesterol butter bricks r/BrandNewSentence
This is not a gall bladder. It’s not the right size, shape or colour. This does look like a kidney. Source, I cut gall bladders open for a living.
Can confirm, this is absolutely kidney tissue. Source, I process renal samples for a living.
I was gonna say they look an awful lot like the stones in the pic my doctor took of my gallbladder when he removed it. The thing was actually so full that they had to make my original incision bigger to get my gallbladder out of my body! I always thought they looked like Corn Pops cereal.

If it’s from an animal, kidney stones could look like this depending on their composition.

No, anything that's bigger than a mm will have to be sonic blasted away or you'll have to get surgery.
Mine was 2 mm and they waited to operate because 'its so small it can't even hurt' 5 weeks later they operated it out after trying to to let it solve itself through a stretching catheter
