Bubble tea, the Taiwanese drink made of tea, milk, sugar, and tapioca pearls, has grown extremely popular on the internet. But health concerns are rising. Tests in the United States found traces of lead in tapioca pearls, which are made from cassava that absorbs heavy metals from soil. Doctors have linked excessive bubble tea consumption to digestive problems, kidney stones, and high sugar intake. A single cup can contain up to 50 grams of sugar. Experts warn of choking risks, especially in children, and advise moderation, smaller servings, and choosing water over sweetened drinks if thirsty.
