Many people are convinced that drinking tea immediately after eating is harmful to the stomach.
However, experts have a different opinion on this matter.
Is it harmful to drink tea immediately after eating?
There is an opinion that drinking tea after a meal dilutes the gastric juice and interferes with the digestion process.
But there are no serious scientific studies to support this hypothesis.
Therefore, drinking tea after meals is not harmful for digestion. However, strong black tea, due to the tannins it contains, impairs the absorption of iron from food.
Therefore, after eating it is better to drink herbal or green tea rather than black tea.
What is really very harmful is replacing food with tea. This is fraught with gastritis, ulcers and pancreatitis.
