Warning: Shocking Toxic Chemicals Found In Teas

Highly toxic substances like fluoride and some pesticides were found in many tea brands like Yogi, Tea Forte, Lipton, Celestial Seasonings, Allegro, Mighty Leaf, Tetley, Tazo, Trader Joe’s, Teavana, Bigelow, Twinings, Republic of Tea. The toxic substance in question is the synthetic Fluoride, not the natural calcium fluoride. The quantities of these substances are hazardously high, which means that drinking cheap tea is comparable to eating waste food.

Cheap Tea Contains Fluoride and Pesticides

Taking in consideration that most of the teas are not being washed before drying and packing, so those that are not organic are full of pesticide remains. There are even carcinogen tea brands, containing these substances above the limits permitted by the EU and the US. Nevertheless, many of them claim to be organic and free of pesticides.

A study discovered that the fluoride from these teas is at a really high level that may cause bone tooth, kidney issues and cancer. This study was published in the Food Research International journal.

These cheap tea brands contain about parts per million (ppm) of fluoride, while the permitted level is 4ppm. The accumulated fluoride in the body stays for years, especially in the bones.

So how did fluoride get into tea?

Fluoride is amassed in the tea plant during its growing. Thus, the older the plant is, the more fluoride it contains. Teas made from older leaves, which have more fluoride, are cheaper than those made of younger leaves. Also, smaller leaves contain more fluoride, and they are found mostly in cheap teas.

And what about decaffeinated tea?

Even higher levels of fluoride are found in decaffeinated than in caffeinated tea.

So what is the solution? Should you stop drinking tea all together? No!

• First, when buying tea, select the ones with loose leaf and brew them from scrape. Also, avoid buying tea in a bag because as much as convenient and quick to prepare it seems, it contains low quality leaves richer in fluoride.
• Use white tea, because the concentration of fluoride in white tea is smaller.
• Make sure you buy organic tea, cultivated more sophisticatedly and more mindfully, beginning from the water they use to every other aspect of cultivation.
