Bubble Tea Good or Dangerous:
Bubble Tea, also called Boba Tea, originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. It is made using milk, tea, sugar syrup, and small black tapioca balls that give it its unique chewy texture. These tapioca pearls are made from the cassava root and are soaked before adding to the drink. The tea is often flavored with fruits or caramel, topped with jellies or syrups, and served with a thick straw so that the pearls can be sipped easily.

Bubble Tea Good or Dangerous:

This drink looks attractive and tastes good, which is why it has become so popular worldwide, including in India. However, health experts say that it can be dangerous if consumed regularly. Recently, Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a US-based gastroenterologist trained at Harvard, shared a video explaining the health risks of drinking too much Bubble Tea.

According to Dr. Sethi, a medium cup of Bubble Tea contains around 30 to 55 grams of sugar, which is more than a can of Coca-Cola. If you add extra toppings like caramel, fruit jelly, or syrup, the sugar content goes even higher. Such high sugar levels can cause fatty liver disease, obesity, acne, and diabetes.

He explained that when your body cannot digest excess sugar, it stores it as fat in the liver, leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Apart from sugar, Bubble Tea also contains artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives that can disturb hormones and lead to long-term weight gain.

Doctors suggest that if you love Bubble Tea, enjoy it only occasionally as a treat, not as a daily habit. You can try making a healthier version at home with less sugar, more green tea, and without syrup or cream.
