Tea and coffee are popular and loved by many drinks. Some prefer to drink them with milk.

It is believed that this is a matter of taste, but one should not forget about the recommendations of doctors.

As Dr. Alexandra Fileva told representatives of the publication “ Gazeta.Ru ”, milk, when it comes into contact with tea or coffee, loses its beneficial properties.

The fat content and calorie content of drinks increases.

As a result, the level of “bad” cholesterol may increase.

In addition, there may be problems with weight.

Tannins, which are present in tea and coffee, when combined with milk, prevent useful elements from being absorbed. Caffeine, when it meets milk, creates a sticky and dense mass that is more likely to cause harm, but also will not be absorbed.

Therefore, if you want to benefit from any of these drinks, you need to drink them separately.

If you want to drink coffee or tea with milk, you should do it in small quantities. It is advisable to drink no more than a cup or two a day.
