Drinking tea in bags is detrimental to dental health

Drinking tea has become a habit for Chinese people. Many people, especially young people, like to drink tea bags. This is because bagged tea is more convenient and portable. What is the difference between bagged tea and tea? Does drinking tea bags affect the human body? The following Xiao Bian answers everybody one by one.

In general, tea bags are made of broken tea. Most of them are made from summer tea and autumn tea. They are generally not ground with advanced tea. The disadvantage of bagged tea is that the quality of the tea is normal, and after grinding, the active ingredients in the tea are severely lost. Because of the grinding technology, the nutrients in the tea will quickly be soaked in the tea soup, but the teabags will be washed once and the second time there will be almost no nutrition.

A study of 38 tea products by the University of Derby in the UK found that cheap tea bags sold in supermarkets contain more fluoride than good quality tea. Among them, the fluoride content of green tea, black tea, oolong tea, and pu-erh tea is not the same. The contents of “Smartprice” and other black teas are the highest, and the green tea ranks second.

According to the study, with an average of about 1 liter of tea per person per day, the amount of fluoride per liter contained in a tea bagged tea is as high as 6 milligrams, which exceeds the daily recommended intake limit for adults (3 to 4). Mg). This can lead to a series of health problems, such as fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, etc., which can easily cause pain in the bones and joints, muscle weakness, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and even severe disability.

The difference between bagged tea and tea is that tea is the main source of fluoride. In general, leaf buds and other parts will be used to make more upscale tea. This kind of fresh tea leaves is relatively healthy. The old leaves will be used to make cheap tea products, such as bagged tea. Therefore, try to buy well-made new tea and reduce the number of tea bags. In addition, experts have called for manufacturers and distributors to indicate the fluoride concentration on product packaging for the health of consumers.

To sum up, we should have more fluoride contained in bags of tea and there are hidden dangers to health. We should reduce drinking.
