Experts have named a drink, one cup of which is much more harmful and dangerous than 100 cigarettes smoked at a time. We are talking about Paraguayan holly (yerba mate) tea, which is valued for its ability to relieve headaches and sudden fatigue.

Paraguayan holly is prepared from the branches and leaves of an evergreen shrub called Paraguayan holly, dried over an open fire. The plant, rich in antioxidants, improves performance and accelerates metabolism. The composition of the drink includes essential oils, vitamins A, B, C. On the one hand, it should be useful for the body, but in reality everything looks different.

Research has shown that tea contains many carcinogens. Toxic substances triple the risk of developing cancer. These are tumors affecting the liver, pancreas, intestines, esophagus, stomach, and lungs. The biggest blow to the body is caused by the traditional brewing method, that is, when water heated to 65 degrees is used.

Paraguayan holly can be found in stores specializing exclusively in healthy food products. The drink is popular in South America. It did not take root in Ukraine because of the high price.
