Tea bags, widely used for their convenience, may pose a hidden health risk, according to a study conducted by the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Researchers found that the polymer-based materials commonly used in commercial tea bags release millions of microplastics and nanoplastics into the tea when infused. These tiny particles can be absorbed by the human body, potentially entering the bloodstream and spreading throughout the body. The study highlights that food packag
