Scrambled eggs are a traditional morning meal, and tea is a standard morning drink.

Combining the two above mentioned components into one breakfast is a common occurrence.

In the morning, many people eat fried eggs and wash them down with tea.

However, this is a very dangerous habit that must be abandoned.

You can drink tea for breakfast only if you haven't eaten scrambled eggs.

And if you have already consumed this dish, then you should refuse the drink.

Why is it dangerous to drink tea with scrambled eggs?

The fact is that the drink is a source of tannin.

Overall, this connection is useful.

But it also has a drawback: tannin interferes with the complete absorption of important components contained in eggs.

Thus, the habit of washing down scrambled eggs with tea leads to the fact that a person receives almost no benefit from the food.

There is another potential negative consequence: if you drink the drink after eating fried eggs, you may experience problems with the gastrointestinal tract. First of all, we are talking about constipation.

For reference

Tea is a drink obtained by boiling, brewing and/or infusing tea leaves, which are pre-prepared in a special way.
