A doctor has warned Russians about the dangers of brewing tea in pyramid-shaped bags.
Surgeon Alexander Umnov shared a comment on this topic.
In a conversation with Rossiyskaya Gazeta , the expert advised brewing loose leaf tea. He explained that the product in pyramids is dangerous to health.
The problem is in the nanoparticles of the tea bag, which get into the drink when brewing. Some of them are excreted from the body naturally. The rest accumulates in the cells.
If you drink this tea rarely, there will be little harm. If you brew it constantly, there are significant risks.
In this case, the amount of accumulated nanoparticles reaches a critical level. The consequences may be different.
For example, an abundance of microplastics in cells can trigger an immune response. The body will consider them foreign, which will cause autoimmune thyroiditis or scleroderma.
The accumulation of plastic in cells can cause mutation. This creates a risk of developing cancer, Umnov warned.
Earlier, an infectious disease specialist gave advice thatwill help avoid cholera.
