Tea -lover Britain now has another reason for taking a decoction – as a new study suggests that hot drinks can help remove toxic heavy metals from your water.

Benjamin Shindel of Northwestern University, Illinois, who led the research, said: “It can help explain why there may be a low phenomenon rate of heart disease and stroke in more tea -drinking population.”
He said: ‘What is special about tea is that it is the most consumed drink in the world.
‘You can crush all types of materials to achieve a uniform metallic-disconnected effect, but it will not necessarily be practical.
‘With tea, people do not need to do anything extra. Just put the leaves in your water and dip them, and they naturally remove the metals. ,
For a long time of various types of tea, tea bags and alcohol making methods, more contaminated materials were removed.
