I read a report about how putting milk in hot tea negated the "health benefits" of it (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6241139.stm).
However, this is probably arachidonic acid overload epiphenomena. My concern is lipid oxidation, and so I'd rather put milk in cold tea or coffee, though there may not be much of a difference (no experiment has been done, so far as I know). Since I like cold coffee and tea, it's not an issue for me. I would argue that the evidence suggests that avoiding too much cooked meat and major sources of PUFAs are much more important than something like milk in hot coffee or tea. |
