Sassafras should not be taken internally or used for healing except for topical applications. In the 1960s scientists determined that the volatile oil derived from sassafras root contains http://www.answers.com/topic/safrole as its chief component. Safrole is a known http://www.answers.com/topic/carcinogen in animal studies. Safrole in concentrations of 80-90%, similar to its concentration in the volatile oil, produced tumors in the livers of laboratory animals. In 1960 the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned sassafras volatile oil as a food and flavoring additive. In 1976 it prohibited the interstate shipment of sassafras bark for making tea. A safrole-free sassafras extract is now available; however, there are questions about its potentially cancer-causing properties. Prior to the discovery that sassafras contains a carcinogen, it had a long and widespread history of use as a folk medicine. Native Americans used sassafras to cure many different conditions, but especially as a spring blood tonic. Before long, Native Americans introduced the European settlers to sassafras. It became a sought-after herb in Europe. Sassafras root bark was imported from the United States, and sassafras trees were also planted in Europe. Sassafras tea, sold under the name saloop, was a popular beverage in London.

Why do tea bags float on cold water?
Assuming you mean literally float, as opposed to giving the appearance of floating e.g. by using a magic effect such as very thin string, there are a few ways this could be achieved.
First, the teabag could be made to float on an air cushion - i.e. by propelling air upwards beneath the teabag at a constant speed so that the teabag 'sits' upon the air cushion.
Alternatively, you could take the teabag into a weightless environment, either artificially created for example in an aircraft (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weightlessness#Reduced_weight_in_aircraft), or natural (for instance, space).
Possibly the most interesting method would be through diamagnetic levitation. This is a phenomenon in which some substances when in the presence of a magnetic field produce an opposing magnetic field which repels the original. Although if you're using natural magnets this can only really occur using powerfully diamagnetic substances such as pyrolytic graphite, in fact all materials can be weakly diamagnetic, teabags included. The degree to which this can be harnessed depends on the strength of the generated magnetic field, and so if we use an incredibly strong electromagnet, the teabag could be made to float on its opposing magnetic field. Get a strong enough magnet, and you can float next to it! This Wikipedia article has a pretty picture of a frog levitating diamagnetically: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism#Diamagnetic_levitation

Does iced tea cause constipation?
Tea is a diuretic. It causes you to urinate more. Drinking excessive amounts would indeed dry you out, but you'd need to drink gallons per day for it to cause constipation. Constipation is usually caused by not eating enough fiber such as you find in fruits and veggies.
