Woman Addicted To Drinking Tea Loses All Her Teeth And Develops Bone Disease

A Michigan mom addicted to drinking super-thick tea has lost all her teeth and is now battling a rare bone disease.
The 47-year-old had consumed at least a pitcher of the popular hot drink, made from at least 100 tea bags, every day for the last 17 years.
It led to her developing skeletal fluorosis — a bone disease caused by consuming too much of the mineral fluoride.
The Detroit Free Press reports she saw doctors at the city’s Henry Ford Hospital after getting pains and stiffness in her back, arms, legs and hips.
X-rays showed areas of abnormally dense bone in some of her spinal vertebrae and calcifications in the ligaments of her arms.
