Adding milk to your tea cancels out health benefits – so what about your coffee?

So what about coffee? Good news if you like it light and creamy. The researchers put milk in their coffee to the test and determined that it does NOT interfere with the health benefits. That’s because the hardy antioxidants in coffee don’t react to the proteins in the milk. The healthy compounds in both black and green tea are more finicky – and adding milk shuts them down and prevents our bodies from absorbing them.
