A nutritionist spoke about the dangers of tea bags.

Expert Irina Pisareva explained why it is not recommended to brew tea in bags.

In a conversation with NEWS.ru, the nutritionist noted that it is all about the release of microplastics.

This fact was confirmed during an experiment conducted by scientists from Canada.

They found that when brewed, tea bags leave up to 16 micrograms of these particles in the drink.

The specialist added that the impact of microplastics on the human body is still being studied.

But we can say with certainty that it does not bring any benefit to the body.

The expert stressed that the ingestion of microplastics into the body is undesirable.

The nutritionist advises buying loose leaf tea.

She also recommends brewing the drink separately using a glass teapot.

This tea will be of much higher quality.

It will bring more benefits to the body and will not cause any harm, the specialist concluded.
