Many people like drinking tea, but it is difficult to remove the tea stains on the cup. A layer of tea stains grows on the inner wall of the tea set, containing cadmium, lead, iron, arsenic, mercury and other metal substances. They are brought into the body when drinking tea, and combine with protein, fat, vitamins and other nutrients in food to form insoluble precipitates, which hinder the absorption of nutrients. At the same time, these oxides entering the body will also cause pathological changes and functional disorders of the nervous, digestive, urinary and hematopoietic systems, especially arsenic and cadmium can cause cancer, cause fetal malformation and endanger health. Therefore, those who have the habit of drinking tea should often clean the tea stains on the inner wall of the tea set in time.
