Question

Can tea bags be bad for you in any way if you drink tea with them too much?
thanks-MC

Answer 1

I doubt it, although the jury may still be out.

"Recent rumours say that chlorine-whitened tea bags may cause cancer, developmental defects in newborns and so on, after minute amounts of dioxin were found in whitened tea bags [2]. It is also considered that no safe dose of toxin exists. On the other hand, no research has shown so far that using chlorine-whitened tea bags actually causes cancer in any person."
