Some plastic tea bags can steep as much as 555 to 2,498 microplastic particles per cup, according to university researchers in Türkiye. But that contamination is only the beginning.

A newly published study reports that plastic tea bags release bisphenol A (BPA) and plasticizers into hot water during brewing, according to the study’s authors. Researchers said the findings raise qu...

Microplastics are now impossible to avoid. They have made their way into everything from agricultural soils to freshwater systems. So, it is unsurprising that they end up in most foods and drinks. How...

Looking for a non-toxic coffee maker? I test over a dozen espresso and drip coffee machines every year, and here I've picked out three BPA-free options that deliver peace of mind when you're enjoying your morning brew. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a material used in some hard plastics, and is classified as an endocrine disruptor (a substance that can affect hormone levels). When it comes into contact with food and drinks, tiny amounts can be transferred and consumed. The official stance of the US Food and Drink Administration (FDA) is that "BPA is safe at the current levels occurring in foods. Based on FDA’s ongoing safety review of scientific evidence, the available information continues to support the safety of BPA for the currently approved uses in food containers and packaging." The Food Standards Agency in the UK adopts a similar position, stating that "Where it is allowed to be used, tiny amounts of the chemical may be transferred from some packaging into food and drinks, however the level of BPA detected in food to date in the UK is not currently considered to be harmful." However, in both countries BPAs are forbidden in items intended to be used by babies...
