Caffeine intake increases the risk of kidney stones.

Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that caffeine intake increases the risk of kidney stones?

No. A large population-based study reports that higher caffeine intake was associated with a roughly 5% decreased risk of kidney stones, and a skeptics summary cites two large prospective studies finding lower symptomatic stone risk with daily tea consumption. No retrieved item supports caffeine increasing kidney stone risk.
