Many people are used to squeezing tea bags into a mug before throwing it away.
However, this seemingly harmless habit can actually pose many health risks.
Why you shouldn't squeeze a tea bag into your cup, Environmental Science & Technology magazine explains.
The publication's publication provides a detailed response from biologists.
Take note
The thing is that tea contains substances called tannins.
In moderate quantities, these compounds are beneficial to health, as they have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and blood vessels, and they also effectively remove toxins.
However, only a small amount of tannins has this effect on humans.
A very large percentage of these compounds remain in the tea bag. By squeezing the bag, you increase the concentration of tannins in the tea.
This solution causes bitterness in the drink. A large amount of tannins, in turn, stains the teeth yellowish.
In addition, many scientists believe that tea bags are a source of micropollution in the human body.
