Most conventional tea brands such as Lipton,
Allegro, Celestial Seasonings, Tazo, Teavana, Bigelow, Republic of Tea,
Twinings, Yogi, Tea Forte, Mighty Leaf, Trader Joe’s, Tetley contain
very high levels of toxic substances such as fluoride and pesticides.
We’re not talking about calcium fluoride which is a natural element, but
rather hydrofluorosilicic Acid,
a toxic industrial waste by-product. These levels are dangerously high
to the point of being considered unsafe. So drinking cheap tea can be
as bad as eating junk food.
Cheap Tea Contains Fluoride and Pesticides
Most teas are not washed before being dried, thus non-organic teas contain pesticide residues. Some tea brands (even those claimed organic or pesticide free!) have recently been found to contain pesticides that are known carcinogens – in quantities above the US and EU limits!
A new study published in the journal of, Food Research International,
found that cheaper blends contain enough fluoride to put people under
the risk of many illnesses such as bone tooth, kidney problems and even
cancer.
In
fact, some brands of cheap tea contain nearly 7 parts per million
(ppm) and the allowed level of fluoride is 4 ppm. This is quite scary
since fluoride gets into your bones and accumulates in your body. It
stays there for years.
So how did fluoride get into tea?
The
tea plant accumulates fluoride as it grows. This means that old leaves
contain the most fluoride. Cheaper quality teas are often made from old
leaves that contain more fluoride than young tea leaves . Additionally,
these cheaper brands use smaller leaves which contain more fluoride.
And what about decaffeinated tea?
Well, decaffeinated tea showed higher fluoride levels than caffeinated tea.
So what is the solution? Should you stop drinking tea all together? Of course not!
-First
of all, make sure to buy loose leaf tea and brew your tea from
scratch. Bagged tea which might seem convenient and ready to go, is
often made from low quality leaves which surely contain more fluoride.
-Stick to white tea. It has the least amount of fluoride.
-Buy
organic tea because the methods for cultivation are more sophisticated
and conscious. They might even use purified water for the soil.
