Research shows tea's benefits ruined by milk

[easyguy]

Drinking tea has a lot of benefits that are up there with water in terms of promoting a healthy blood flow/circulatory system. But a recent study has shown that tea drinkers who add milk to their cup or mug strips away those benefits.

 

That is the issue in a nutshell.

I am a tea-a-holic (in fact, that is pretty much all I have been drinking lately), but never add milk to it... so I am safe.

The research group was really too small to make it a broad observation.

 

But my question would be the change to goat's milk was used instead of cow. Goat's milk has been shown to be much better for human consumption as the proteins are a better shape for our digestive system.

I think I'm over due for a cuppa, I don't do milk at night, reflux...

I was weaned on tea with milk.... the most comforting thing in the world is a nice cuppa tea with milk

tea with milk is always a comforting drink.

 

How about's adding creamer instead of milk (although not sure how that would taste)

yuk

 

I've never had milk in my tea. Do you drink it warm or cold?

[renaissancewoman101]

When I add milk in the tea, the milk might be cold, but the hot tea warms it up some it is warm tea with milk.

 

Sometimes, I even add a bit of sugar.

[MissTee]

If I'm having green tea or any type of herbal tea, I won't have milk or sugar.

 

BUT

 

If it's good ole' earl grey or english breakfast, I will add a drop of milk and a 1/4 teaspoon of sugar.

[Angstyboi]

Well not only do I add milk....I overload it with sugar. I'm sugarholic...I suppose since I don't smoke, drink or do drugs, I need an addiction ^_^

LIES! ALL LIES! *hides away*

I might add a dollop of bee vomit for flavor and sweet, but I tend o use splenda no as its sugar like flavor holds up in the heat unlike other sweetener subs.

Poor Barry... couldn't you make your own?

 

 

I love tea, but prefer my coffee.

Interesting study.

 

I used to love tea with milk in it, especially as a kid. I got hooked on tea without milk after having it in Chinese restaurants and realizing how much more flavorful it was on it's own. Now I just use 1 splenda so it's not bitter.
