 You could be drinking billions of microplastics in just one cup of tea. Yeah, that can't be good. It turns out that some tea companies are ditching the paper bags for plastic mesh. They say it keeps the pyramid shape intact, which helps the tea leaves brew better. But while the tea may taste great, you're consuming microplastics that levels thousands of times higher compared to other foods. We still don't know exactly how microplastics impact our health, but experts discovered that they can travel around our body and lodge into our organs. Instead, stick with tea bags made of paper or try low-sleeve. And beware, not all companies have plastic or paper listed on their labels, so stay away from anything that's marketed as silky.
