There's some non-zero amount. Yes, those teabags. Yep. those release, according to the study, billions of plastics of microparticles into a tea that you're brewing. So that looks really fancy, right? Like that plastic tea pyramid looks very fancy, but that is a very big problem in terms of microplastics. And again, throughout this podcast, I just want to say this to people. perfect.

Do not let perfect be the enemy of good. I'm just giving you guys ideas and people can incorporate them however they want in their life. I'm not trying to make an impossible standard for people, but I think knowledge is power. Know better, do better. So know what's in your teabag and use teabags that are lower microplastic.

Or I think if you're going to have tea, use a loose leaf tea that you are brewing in a tea basket. Have you seen these like stainless steel tea baskets? You can use a loose leaf tea. That would be the best way to do tea because tea is a pretty big exposure for people in microplastics, and I was not aware of this until I found this article recently.

So I'm hoping your Arnold Palmer is probably not the worst thing in the world because it's iced tea, right? But sometimes people make iced tea, they brew it with hot water, and then they chill it. So if you're actually making iced tea and you're just using a teabag and cold water, you're going to release less microplastics. It's okay.

The problem with the Arnold Palmer is when are you drinking it in the day and how much caffeine is it? And is that affecting your sleep architecture negatively? And the only way to really know this is to do something like an aura ring or a subjective analysis of this and say, how do I feel without caffeine if I'm sleeping? How does my sleep feel in terms of restorative quality?

It could be affecting your sleep quality negatively, but I'm glad you're not drinking a monster after 6 p.m.

So I'm going to look at this, but I would also have to see the food that you're eating in a day, right? Because food is primary for me.

What's the protein drink?

I hope there's no natural flavors in there, Pat.

I'm going to send you the protein from Lineage. So this company, we also make a protein powder.
