Bubble Tea’s Hidden Health Risks Prompt Caution

Bubble tea, once a colorful favorite, may carry health risks beyond its sweetness: some tapioca pearls (made from cassava) can accumulate lead, the pearls’ density can slow digestion or cause blockages, and there are links between high sugar intake and obesity, diabetes, and dental issues; rare cases tie pearl consumption to kidney stones and choking hazards, while some studies note associations with anxiety and mood effects. Health experts urge moderation and recommend treating bubble tea as an occasional treat rather than a daily habit, even suggesting sipping directly from the cup to reduce choking risk.

The Herald Square store drew long lines and a red-carpet welcome, with many items sold out; prices under $4 and a 15% discount via rewards. Mixue's IPO in Hong Kong earlier this year kicked off rapid expansion, challenging local players like Gong Cha and McDonald's in price and scale, while competitors Luckin Coffee and Chagee also expand in the U.S.
