Here are some common health side effects of milk tea.
1. Disrupts sleep cycles
One of the common side effects of bubble tea is disrupting your sleep cycle due to the caffeine content. Drinking bubble tea close to bedtime can make it difficult to fall asleep, leading to daytime fatigue, impaired cognitive function, and poor sleep quality, according to a study published in the journal Advances Nutrition.
2. Leads to weight gain
A study published in the journal Food Science and Nutrition found that bubble tea causes weight gain due to the added sugar and fat it contains. The high sugar content provides instant energy, but it can also spike blood sugar levels.
3. Digestive problems
A study published by BMC Public Health said that the caffeine in bubble tea can cause stomach problems, especially constipation. In addition, the ingredients in bubble tea, such as milk and cream, can cause stomach upset in people with lactose intolerance or sensitive digestive systems.
4. Cause anxiety
Consuming too much caffeine can cause a range of physiological responses, including increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and feelings of anxiety, restlessness, and irritability, according to a study published in the journal Frontiers Psychology.
5. Nutritional deficiencies
Nutritionist Gauri Anand (India) said that drinking too much milk tea can lead to a deficiency of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients needed by the body.
