🫖The Shocking Truth About Microplastics in Your Tea | Dr. William Li #drwilliamli #microplastics

Microplastics are like the new smoking. Look, now we know those plastic water bottles are shedding microplastics. Something I was stunned by is that a tea bag, a typical tea bag, uh made out of paper, I thought, actually is sprayed with a little bit of plastic on the outside by the manufacturer so that the paper doesn't rip and all the tea leaves come out.

I guess it makes sense from a manufacturer's perspective, but you dunk that tea to steep the tea, it sheds a billion plastic particles into a mug of tea. One billion from one teabag and you're drinking.
