Tea leaves are one of the most popular foods. However, recently on the Internet, some people have hesitated to face tea eggs when they say that eating too many tea leaves can lead to iron deficiency. The expert pointed out that there is no scientific basis for this argument.

In response to this argument, Fan Zhihong, associate professor of nutrition and food safety at the Food College of China Agricultural University, pointed out that this argument is unscientific. She explained that egg yolks are indeed rich in iron. When boiled, iron binds with the high phosphoproteins in the egg yolk and affects the body's absorption of iron. But this has nothing to do with the tannic acid in tea. Tea leaves cannot cause human iron deficiency. In fact, patients suffering from iron-deficiency anemia tend to have a single food structure.
