Tea against toxins

According to Japanese researchers, tea is an effective method to combat sick building syndrome.

People living in new homes sometimes have a sore throat and nausea. The cause is usually formaldehyde released by paint and glue, and it seems that tea bags spread throughout the house are able to absorb formaldehyde. Thanks to tea, the researchers assessed that the concentration of formaldehyde in the air was reduced between 60 and 90%.

Tip: the best are black and green tea.
