Disappointing news for lovers of the English drink – tea with milk: it is not good for health. This is the conclusion reached by scientists from India. And they explained why tea in its pure form has a better effect on the body than in combination with some kind of additives.
According to doctors, the interaction of the protein present in milk and theaflavins, usually contained in tea, gives rise to complex compounds. They are harmful to health because the body cannot absorb them. The situation is aggravated by the fact that tea and milk themselves in the “English” version lose a number of beneficial properties – the initial level of antioxidants in tea noticeably drops. And in milk, the amount of protein decreases. Therefore, doctors advise not to mix tea with milk.… And drink them separately.
