Hi, my name is Dina and I have enviromental pre-luekemai and I am concerned about the a staples that I have noticed on my lipton green tea bags. I believe this can be dangerous not only to my health but to the health of others.( One Phd Chemist writes about the staples on tea bags,here as well as metal coatings being by expertese. You are not being paranoid. If they are zinc played steel, you will definitely leach some zinc (small amount) into your tea. I would also bet there are other contaminants in those staples). I imagine that this could be dangerous to my health because I like to make sun tea and that metal staple on the lipton green tea bag is sitting in the water in my container all day. I also believe that these staples could cause heavy metal poisoning in my body and the bodys of many other people who use these tea bags that have staples because they have cause heavy metal poisoning in birds. Sincerly,Dina Hamby
