Fruit teas are a favorite breakfast drink for many people as they are good for your health and give you energy.
But even they can contain certain dangers!
Fruit teas are valued for their special aroma. Many people prefer to drink a large cup of berry tea, rosehip tea or orange peel tea in the morning.
Sweetened with honey, these teas are a real energy booster and maintain hydration for hours thanks to the acids and mineral salts they contain.
But fruit teas can pose certain dangers, experts say, so it's important to buy them from reputable manufacturers.
Synthetic colors, preservatives and flavors in fruit teas
Berry, cranberry, blueberry or raspberry tea is a real pleasure both hot and cold, combined with ice and mint.
But some manufacturers add synthetic flavors and red dyes to dried fruits to make the tea more aromatic.
Be careful what tea you buy! Read the label and check for substances other than those usually found in fruits: vitamins, salts and beneficial acids.
Fruit teas should not contain additional flavors or colors.
Pay special attention to your teeth
Another secret hidden in fruit teas, even the simplest and most natural ones, is that they damage teeth.
A study conducted at King's College London found that people who frequently drink fruit teas have more dental problems because the acids in the fruit erode tooth enamel.
The study examined the habits of 300 patients who had severe dental problems, crooked or demineralized teeth, caries and periodontitis.
Most of them said that they drink teas and natural fruit juices between meals every day.
Even more dangerous are bottled fruit teas, which contain a lot of sugar and are very acidic for the teeth.
Previously it was reported what kind of tea you need to drink to lose weight.
