Summary
A new study from Spain’s Autonomous University of Barcelona reveals that tea bags made from nylon, polypropylene, and cellulose release billions of micro- and nanoplastic particles when steeped in boiling water.
These particles, which can enter human intestinal cells, may pose health risks, potentially affecting the digestive, respiratory, endocrine, and immune systems.
Researchers urge regulatory action to mitigate plastic contamination in food packaging.
Consumers are advised to use loose-leaf tea with stainless steel infusers or biodegradable tea bags to minimize exposure.
How many micro plastics are released when I cry?
You can still cry? I’m jealous.
I sell the tears on Etsy, it’s the only way I can support my Nestle milk addiction
You should start an OnlyFans where you post videos of yourself crying into tiny bottles.
Take this down rn and stop spreading my $1000 idea. My lawyers will be in touch
If you make a video of yourself filling a tiny jar with tears in an entertainingly dramatic way… I’ll give you $20 USD. Real tears required, at least .2oz jar. Like, a dollhouse wine bottle.
Please. I need this.
