One of my sisters came across this article which says that some teabags may be secreting microplastics into your cup.
The teabags look like silk but are plastic. Sure enough I had some in my house, which I disposed of. There is something to be said for using tea leaves to make your tea.

And there's stuff inside some tea bags that aren't really tea but added for bulk. Crazy stuff.
ooh hadn't heard this one!
Oh no! I consume a lot of plastic :(
Sounds scary! I'll stick to grinding coffee beans! Valerie
Oh dear i think I have some too,Thankyou for letting us know Christine xx
I never use them
Thank you for the warning, Christine! Appreciate it:)
I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the warning!
Ack. Not good.
Too bad. As for me, I don't drink caffeine.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention...I will be more careful about my tea bags from now on ;)
Thanks. I checked, and all of my tea bags are the filter paper kind.
If I can find the article, I will send it to you. I found it bc I often open my tea bags. If the tea isn't already loose.
It would certainly seem that tea bags are not necessarily the best thing to use.
Bring back real tea, with tea leaves and a strainer :)
All the best Jan
Scary....never know what is in our food.
No kidding? I had no idea.
Plastic + heat = bad
pretty much anything and everything is going to poison us.
yes, it contains "micro-plastic"...but, some readings say that our body could absorb it in certain amount.
# I did not use teabag for safe recently....
I'm not a tea drinker. This sounds scary though.😞
Yep. You are right. I only purchase GMO free teabags because of that very reason.
Appreciate you letting us know. Plastic is everywhere, don't need these extra sneaky ways of more of the stuff xx
its more the bags getting into the water supply that adds micro plastic to water, its not adding it to a cup, most tea bags have some plastic in them. most things do actually, we are just not usually aware of it.
oh that sounds worrying
