A new study found that tea leaves naturally absorb heavy metals, filtering dangerous contaminants from drinking water.

Researchers at Northwestern University estimate tea preparation can reduce about 15 per cent of toxic metals from drinking ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements related to transuranium elements that led to his winning the 1951 Nobel Prize ...

As is the case with the tea leaves themselves, the cellulose fibers boast a large active surface area, allowing the bags to adsorb a significant quantity of heavy metal ions. All of that being ...

Fortunately, the Food and Drug Administration tests for heavy metals in our food—but water can make things a little more ...

Now, a new study has revealed that the brewing process removes charged atoms (called ions) from heavy metals in water, seemingly by chemically bonding with them. This, in turn, makes the heavy ...

Try tea. According to a team of researchers from Northwestern University, tea leaves and bags adsorb lead, trapping lead ions on their surfaces and filtering them from drinking water during the ...
