The tea is probably worse than rapeseed oil.
I am not worrying about eating products that contain it, but I use other oils at home to prevent it from having too much of an effect.
Unless you really restrict your diet like Grant, you will ingest some A. Just make sure not to go overboard.

I don't think the tea will be an issue!

Interesting, so black tea due to its processing should be safe.

For anyone in the U.S. interested Elmhurst verified by email that they do not add any vitamins to their oat milk. Pacific Foods organic oat beverage is also free of VA fortification (also verified by email) but they do add vitamin D.

I haven't tried these yet -- so I can't give a full report. But there are lots of recipes online for homemade non-dairy "milks." They appear to be really simple (for those who own a good blender) and inexpensive.
Here are two options to consider:
https://dontwastethecrumbs.com/2013/09/dairy-alternative-homemade-rice-milk-2/
https://minimalistbaker.com/make-oat-milk/
Scrolling through the comments, many contributors seem pleased with the results -- pouring it on cereal, in coffee, etc.

Tea has a ton of sodium flouride, it's not healthy.

Yeah this is true for strong tea however my understanding is that the fluoride is in the form of CaFl rather than NaFl. NaFl is allegedly more dangerous to consume because of it being more absorbable like other Sodium salts.
One can make very dilute green tea and flavour it with lemon juice and honey and serve it cold. It is quite delicious but maybe it is still best avoided due to fluoride. 🙁

Where I live I can buy almond milk made from partially germinated almonds. Partially germinating them decreases phytic acid content and enzyme inhibitors and it is quite delicious. I drink it straight and it can also be used for porridge. It can be used in tea but the tea needs to cool first a bit otherwise the almond milk loses its homogenization. I tend to stay clear of more than small amounts of linoleic acid though so don't consume large amounts.

Whats the problem with Canola oil? Sorry, i'm new to this whole thing so still learning.
Rapeseed is a member of the thyroid inhibiting family of plants, the Cruciferae. The oil caused heart lesions in pigs and so they bred a variety of rapeseed called Canola that had lower amounts of the problematic fatty acid Erucic acid.
Note that it only has lower amounts, not zero so it can still cause heart disease.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erucic_acid
In 2003, Food Standards Australia set a provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI) for an average adult of about 500 mg/day of erucic acid, extrapolated based on "the level that is associated with increased myocardial lipidosis in nursing pigs."[6] "There is a 120-fold safety margin between this level and the level that is associated with increased myocardial lipidosis in nursing pigs. The dietary exposure assessment has concluded that the majority of exposure to erucic acid by the general population would come from the consumption of canola oil. The dietary intake of erucic acid by an individual consuming at the average level is well below the PTDI, therefore, there is no cause for concern in terms of public health and safety. However, the individual consuming at a high level has the potential to approach the PTDI. This would be particularly so if the level of erucic acid in canola oil were to exceed 2% of the total fatty acids."[6]
