@estherschindler They mention that sufferers could not stop even though they knew the adverse side effects of consuming milk tea, but they don't seem to mention what those side effects are? Tea with milk in it has got to be one of the safest drinks known... unless you're lactose intolerant. Is that the lede?
@estherschindler Wut?
