So it's important to understand that caffeine sticks with you. In order to get rid of a substance in medicine and pharmacokinetics, we think four and a half half-lives. If the half-life of coffee is five hours, give or take, you would need upwards of 16 to 18 hours to get rid of all that caffeine. And there's only 24 hours in the day. Yeah.

So the concern for me is that a lot of people are drinking coffee too late in the day and that that is affecting your sleep architecture negatively.

Do you do caffeine?

Do you do caffeine?

But do you do caffeine now? Do you drink things with caffeine? Is that caffeinated tea?

All right.

All right.

Okay.

Okay.

So just so I know, because I've never had an Arnold Palmer, there's no alcohol in this drink.

Yes. So can we talk about tea for a minute? Sure. Please go for it. So I did a reel about this recently and it went pretty viral. So I want to mention this to people. you need to know what's in the tea bags because some tea bags release massive amounts of microplastics into your tea.

And they're making iced tea, so they're not brewing it with hot water, presumably, which may make a big difference in a positive way. But when people are making hot tea, anytime you're putting hot water onto plastic, it's a very bad idea. But I was really surprised to learn that even the cellulose tea bags use some sort of plastic to seal the bag.

The worst tea bag in the study were the plastic tea bags. Have you seen these? They're kind of like... pyramidal teabags. They're kind of fancy teabags. Yeah, of course. They're made from plastic. And those teabags released a massive amount of microplastics. Microplastics have gotten a lot of press recently. They're in our testicles. They're in our ovaries. They're in our brains. Right.
