What does tea contain?

Why does tea become 'poison' after a meal?
If you take tea after a meal, the nutrients in the food will not be absorbed. Tea contains toxins formed by caffeine and tannins. Drinking tea after every meal can lead to serious health problems including indigestion, constipation, a heavy stomach, bloating and acidity.
What disadvantages did the doctor talk about?
If you drink tea after meals occasionally, you will just have stomach problems, says Dr Rao. If you do this on a daily basis, you could be prone to serious diseases. Let’s look at the specific harms it can cause.
Anemia
Tea has tannins that can lead to iron deficiency in the body as well as decrease the amount of iron you get from food. If you have anemia, drinking tea can make it worse. Anemia can be caused by anemia.
Disease Diabetes
The caffeine in tea can affect the amount of cortisol, a stress hormone in your body, which can affect your energy levels. On the other hand, taking a lot of tea with milk and sugar adds some extra calories and sugar to your body. The more sweet tea you drink over time, the greater the risk of weight gain and developing diabetes.
Digestive problems.
If you keep doing this for a long time, it can damage your digestive system. So if you eat heavy meals or eat a lot of fried food, you will probably experience stomach aches, gas and indigestion. Besides, drinking it right after a meal reduces the protein content of the food and slows down the digestive system.
