“Bubble Tea” sends woman’s sugar and triglyceride readings through the roof!

Thais have been warned to watch how much “Cha Nom Khai Muk” or bubble tea they are consuming. 

Many people like to have a glass a day but this is much too much according to a post on Facebook after a woman had a blood test. 

A poster said a 46 year old woman came to see him complaining of tiredness. She was given heart checks that came back negative. 

Not so for her blood tests. Compared to a year or two ago her glucose levels had rocketed from 105 to 359 and her triglycerides had gone from 222 to 801. 

She admitted that she had been having a glass of Bubble Tea every day on the way to work for the last two months and it was determined that this was responsible for a spike in her numbers. 

The poster said enjoy Bubble Tea – but don’t have too much of it. 

Stands selling the sweet drink are ubiquitous in Thailand. For as little as 10 baht people can get a sugar hit though the price – and quantity – can be much higher in department stores and food courts, notes Thaivisa.
