Editing Bubble tea (section)

==Potential health concerns==
In July 2019, Singapore's [[Mount Alvernia Hospital]] warned against the high [[sugar]] content of bubble tea since the drink had become extremely popular in Singapore. While it acknowledged the benefits of drinking green tea and black tea in reducing risk of [[cardiovascular disease]], [[diabetes]], [[arthritis]], and [[cancer]], respectively, the hospital cautions that the addition of other ingredients like [[non-dairy creamer]] and toppings in the tea could raise the fat and sugar content of the tea and increase the risk of [[chronic disease]]s. Non-dairy creamer is a milk substitute that contains [[trans fat]] in the form of hydrogenated [[palm oil]]. The hospital warned that this oil has been strongly correlated with an increased risk of [[heart disease]] and [[stroke]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=What's in My Bubble Tea? |url=https://mtalvernia.sg/education/whats-in-my-bubble-tea |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724073331/https://mtalvernia.sg/education/whats-in-my-bubble-tea/ |archive-date=24 July 2019 |access-date=24 July 2019 |website=Mount Alvernia Hospital}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Chia |first=Rachel Genevieve |date=15 July 2019 |title=Brown Sugar Milk Tea Is the Unhealthiest Bubble Tea – and Milk Foam Is the Worst Topping, Singapore Hospital Warns |url=https://www.businessinsider.my/brown-sugar-milk-tea-is-the-unhealthiest-bubble-tea-and-milk-foam-is-the-worst-topping-singapore-hospital-warns/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724073240/https://www.businessinsider.my/brown-sugar-milk-tea-is-the-unhealthiest-bubble-tea-and-milk-foam-is-the-worst-topping-singapore-hospital-warns/ |archive-date=24 July 2019 |access-date=24 July 2019 |website=Business Insider Malaysia}}</ref>

The other concern about bubble tea is its high [[calorie]] content, partially attributed to the high-carbohydrate tapioca pearls ({{Lang-zh|t=珍珠|p=zhēn zhū}}), which can make up to half the calorie-count in a {{Convert|500|ml|abbr=on}} serving of bubble tea.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Arulnathan John |date=10 January 2021 |title=Is There Bubble Tea Even Diabetics Can Love?
