Tea Benefit Can Broken

We often mix milk to tea drink; this is deliberate so that the taste becomes more delicious tea drink, but this effect is not good to savor the tea itself, and we do not know it. The description of this mixture is as follows.

A study at the Charité Hospital of the Berlin Universities showed that adding milk to tea will block the normal, healthful effects that tea has in protecting against cardiovascular disease. This occurs because casein from the milk binds to the molecules in tea that cause the arteries to relax, especially EGCG. Milk may also block tea's effect on other things, such as cancer. Other studies have found little to no effect from milk on the observed increase in total plasma antioxidant activity. Teas with high EGCG content, such as green tea, are not typically consumed with milk. Previous studies have observed a beneficial effect from black tea which was not attributable to the catechin content. Plant-based "milks", such as soy milk, do not contain casein and are not known to have similar effects on tea.

So that is why if someone sell health tea, like green tea, black tea or others, they never sell tea in the mix form with something else, but always sell tea in the nature form, even sometimes no process for that tea, just dried in the sun
