@@tsebosei1285 Studies after studies after studies on tea and coffee disprove your claims of them being unhealthy. The reality is internet gurus who have a narrative will find “scary” sounding chemicals in plants and fear monger people. Also, those same anti nutrients are often found to be BENEFICIAL, so clearly the studies are mixed. If you’re that scared about them, cooking removes a lot of them. Also, different combinations of foods have a synergistic effect (turmeric and black pepper, onions and beans, etc). What I’m getting at is that eating a variety of foods is better. If you’re only drinking green tea, then yes it’s bad. However, as part of a varied diet, it can only help. Also, the amount of “anti nutrients” found in coffee and tea is negligible. The benefits far outweigh something that’s up for debate. I would suggest you stop looking at internet gurus who have at most a chiropractic license, and look at the actual data and research. Most of their claims are bogus or take studies out of context (AKA misrepresentation).
Yes, abosulety amazing, that blue tea "Milky Blue" brewed by Mariage freres. It really is milky in a much better way. The perfum, the light, the color, the taste, the creamy... My favourit tea ever
Fruit and dairy is a significant part of my diet, so this is disappointing. I have adapted to black coffee, which was to extend my fast in the morning, but I'm not sure I will comply with this one. I do eat extensively from Dr. Li's 200 foods list. Thanks for having him on!
I swear by fruit and as for tea though I have reduced this considerably and opted for either mint tea or just warm water … fruit however is not something I will give up … fyi :)
Supplements are absolutely necessary because our food is grown in depleted soils, foods are transported over long distances (not fresh). Plus, to get the daily requirements in this day and age when we don't move, would mean having to eat 3,000 to 4,000 calories. We are trying to get the same Daily Requirements eating half of the calories. It ain't going to happen - we need to supplement or eat more food.
Depnding on where you live and how you feed yourself. Many times teas, herbal teas, salt, spices and all the herbs you can grow are enough and even better than suppléments
Absolutely. There is no way you would get all the nutrients from food alone. You'll need to consume an Insane amount of vegetables, fruits, nuts and dairy to get the daily amount required. A good wholefood multivitamin is a good addition for majority people.
~Vitamins are synthetic and don't get absorbed property, as well as being toxic. There is a reason why your urine turns BRIGHT YELLOW after taking a multi-vitamin. THat's your body expelling all of the useless waste, while your kidneys have to go in overdrive to filter that crap out of your body.
Totally. Pretty much anyone who doesn't supplement their diet will be deficient or at sub-optminal levels of essential minerals. Some mass-produced fruits & vegetables from commercial agriculture contain like 30% less essential nutrients than they did just in the 1950s. Maybe even less than that. The soils are being completely depleted and refertilized just in order for the crops to grow and produce fruit.
Ive put raw milk into tea. You get grease on top but the tea tastes delucious. I now drink my tea black as I live in Spain where customs are different.

I'm not sure putting mushrooms on a window sill is going to produce vitamin D without direct UVB exposure, directly in the sun outside. I am curious to know tho because it would be far more convenient to put them in the window sill. And of course I guess they would still need direct sunlight in the sill. Basically, it's my understanding UVB is blocked through windows and that mushrooms would need that. Also concerning D, even if you're in a sunny climate/zone it's my understanding that you probably still should consider supplementing and/or fortification instead of the solely depending on the sun. At the same time I'm not suggesting don't get sun. It's just recommended to limit it in such a way that you may not be getting enough D because it depends on the amount of skin exposed, skin color, how much time and angle of the Sun, etc. and too much sun causes cancer. But other beneficial things happen when you get sun like infrared in the morning increases intracellular melatonin, getting it midday might help with the D, and ubiquinol is synthesized especially if you have chlorophyll flowing through your blood. But these "may" only require minimal sun exposure. But probably not enough to get the amount of presumed D you would need. To make things more confusing, maybe, one of the healthiest tribes in the world, I think the Tsimane, may tend to run low on certain vitamins like D, E, and K but higher in other micronutrients. There's so much synergy to be seen when considering the whole with endless variables to consider. I find these things fascinating, I'm curious if I'm off here in my layman self and whatnot 💚
I have never added milk/cream with my tea, just sweetener. I have been using stevia for about 18 years now. Never used any of the man-made artificial sweeteners.
Thanks for this information on drinking tea. I drink ice tea all the time with just a little bit of squeezed lemon. I never add anything else to the Ice Tea - no sugars at all. Good thing to know about adding milk to tea, but all my life, I have never done this. I know people who drink coffee do this, but I am also not a coffee drinker.
No, plant sources only offer ALAs, which our bodies are able to convert less than 10% of those lipids to the beneficial DHA or EPA. I consider any sale of "vegan" omega 3s to be just a marketing scam.
How about mixing matcha green tea with spirulina powder, wheatgrass powder and moringa powder in carrot and pumpkin smoothie? Add walnut, pumpkin and chia seeds into the smoothie as breakfast food.
@tankimling3895 🌷 That sounds good! Except I’ll have the walnut, pumpkin & chia later … (I don’t eat breakfast anymore). I’ll make a great, healthy very green tea! Thanx!
Exactly!!! I've been sent around and around in a circle here on YT about eating vegetables by several prominent doctors who won't even mention "oxalates"...I finally concluded it's about the "clicks" i.e click bait 😢...
I like green tea without milk and most black teas with dairy . Puerh tea is a blacktea thats good with no milk but the red teas of india generally benefit from dairy as it makes the tannins less bitter. If you want to drink black tea black you have to pick more expensive teas.
In addition, the fat % in British cow milk is quite high. Coming from SE Europe, I gagged on dairy because of high fat content. Obviously, to those used to that milk, this is not an issue.
Use SweetLeaf liquid stevia rather than sugar, which loves cancer. Do not eat sugar. Try to use plant milk vs. cow milk to get full polyphenol benefits of your tea.
How do you know this? Have studies been done on stools of yea drinkers to campare the polyphenol amounts? How do you know the milkfat doesn't just extend the release time?
I knew someone from Pakistan that said doctors there told people not to eat a certain type of fish with cheese or it would make you go blind. Always wondered about that statement because he couldn't remember what type of fish it was.
A study from the University of Copenhagen claims that milk in coffee helped to fight infammation better that just coffee. ("Why adding a bit of milk to your morning coffee might be good for you"). So is milk in coffee good or bad? The fact that fat binds to polyphenols does not need to mean that it would be digested worse, it could even be digestet better or at a more favorable place in the body. Also, even if people in southern Europe drink their espressi black, they do it after a meal. The fat from the meal is not far away from the coffee.
Goat milk is known to digest easily it resemble human milk . But milk from animal too have casein ( milk protein ) that in some cause auto immune disease and has growth factor to increase size if any cancer cell . Goat milk has lot of fat too . But milk make tea or coffee caffein less acidic due to calcium in it .
Dr did not say milk with coffee is bad right ?! Why are all the comments talking about coffee. The Taiwanese milk tea sounds amazing, wonder where I can get that ?1
I found a good quality oat milk was quite OK with my taste buds. Same with coffee. Almond milk left a slightly bitter taste in my throat. Also make a combination tea which I now like very much of English breakfast, green tea and earl grey, ie 3 teabags.
Hey people. Enjoy your milk. You don't have to leave milk out all the time. I enjoy green or black with lemon/cinnamon but I still have milk especially first thing
Once I learn the health consequences of putting cow milk into my tea, I stop putting cow milk in my tea. Did this a long time ago. However, I didn't make the switch of just using soy milk. That's a good bit of information, so now I'll use soy milk to get that effect that I've been missing since I learned of the effect cow milk has on the catechins in tea. Excellent point!
@@jayrober4834 Organic soy is great for you, of course there is bio-individualism. A lot of the knock on soy comes from the diary industry and has been totally debunked. As long as it's not GMO soy it's great. That's why Okinawans have lived on soy, rice 🍣, vegetables, sea weed and a little fish for centuries and live in one of the few blue zones on the planet. Good rule of thumb: find out what they eat in blue zones, then eat what they eat, and live an authentic lifestyle like they do. Many blessings to you. 🙏🏽
Appreciate the video, I know it's long format but the answer to this one question could have been 5 times shorter. Being succint is a skill I know but respects the time of the viewer. But then there's AI RUclips summary people like I.
I'm confused why dairy fat would cause a "soap bubble" that would impact absorption and non-dairy fat wouldn't. From my research, many polyphenols are better absorbed with a fat source. Theoretically, polyphenols wrapped in a soap bubble would ensure it enters the colon intact (where our microbiome feasts on polyphenols) to further facilitate positive results. I doubt it would come out the other end without microbiome interaction involved.

Rapeseed (canola) oil has omega 3 in it, not only that it has what is considered the optimum ratio to omega 6 (1:2). I buy a lot of vegan soy products and I always make sure the oil used is rapeseed oil. I used to take an omega 3 supplement but after researching rapeseed oil I am confident that I now get enough in my diet. I also use it for stir frying sometimes. I avoid all other oils if I can although I do not stick to this completely. I have also noticed that more and more vegan products use rapeseed oil so I guess it is a growing awareness of the benefits by consumers and producers that is driving this trend.
I am just clarifying because from what I understand you are saying that milk doesn't agree with you but you don't believe milk is bad unless there is a peer reviewed study?
@@underated17 Don't know where you got the impression milk doesn't agree with me. I'm of Irish descent. My ancestors lived off milk and foods made from milk for thousands of years. I have no problem with milk or any other dairy products. In fact milk is listed as being beneficial for my gout. Although a lot of people do have trouble with milk, I have seen many studies that show definitive benefits to dairy consumption, especially as people age. I have noticed a tendency of people, even professionals who should know better, to just pull "facts" out of their arses as if it was based on empirical evidence, when it is not. The science of nutrition is very new and very poorly moderated. Almost every study I have ever read, if not every study, ends with a disclaimer that "more research is needed." Definitive results are very rare exceptions. When discussing research it is important to remember that human beings from different parts of the world have developed different resistances, different mutations and adaptations. Aside from the fact that most research has been done on rodent models (which, of course has it's place), when research is done on humans the ethnic background of the research subjects needs to be taken into account and never is. When someone makes a bald statement that something is definitively bad for everyone, or has a particular effect/reaction with another substance, I want to know whether they have some genuine, real, scientific evidence to back up their claims, or whether they are just talking out their arse.
@@jimbrogan9835 I thought you wrote your bile doesn't work on milk. I read that wrong. Conventional dairy is a problem. At least, here in Canada it is. I have just over 1 percent Scandinavian blood and other European but I seem to not tolerate the milk here. Unless it is a2 milk or goat. I can have cheese I think. It is the quality of the milk maybe. There is also the blood type that I have that is rare I am ab pos and it does better with vegetables but I am not sure about dairy.
Purple tea has more polyphenols than green tea. Never heard of the milk tea from Taiwan, would love to taste that especially because I love oolong. Awesome clip!
I live in Australia and take vitamin D3! It's the middle of winter here, it's cold and we're all rugged up? Don't think he's travelled here during the colder months!
I wonder if the fat from the milk really is leaving the body and dragging the tea polyphenols with it. Isn't fat absorbed by the gut? And taking the tea molecules with it into the blood? I drink coffee with mascarpone. Delicious!
@@gypsygirl9 Mascarpone is theoretically cheese yes, but it tastes like whipped cream. I also put mascarpone in my yogurt. I love the fatty creamy taste!
I tried to find more about this Taiwanese milk tea and I think Dr. Li is mistaken. Anything I found about this "milk tea" shows it as tea (all kinds) brewed with milk....famously made all over Taiwan and also used as the base for bubble tea. As far as I could see,there is no miracle oolong Tea that tastes milky on its own. Referrences please if someone knows differently.
My Mother told me that when she was just a toddler, the only way her Mother could get her to drink milk was in tea, so her Mother would put a lot of milk in a little tea. My Mother drank tea her entire life.
They want you to drink milk. That's why a long time ago they brought it to your door just to make sure you will drink it. They also brought bread. Eat or drink that and you will believe anything. God Bless.
It is uncommon to put milk in green tea. Oh yes bring on the Taiwan Milk Tea. Imagine a billion of Indians who drink Chai as a staple and there are so many chai vendors who make a living off selling thousands of cups of chai.( Quite sweet milk tea) Though it is certainly something to bear in mind, using almond or rice milk instead. I live in the middle east and they mostly put either lemon or mint in tea no milk.
Indian chai tea is made with spices : ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, clove and cardamom . If you search the properties of this spices you will realize that is how how indians resolved the problem .
But it's not an argument that fat in the tea inhibits the uptake of something when through life we drink like a 25m swimming pool in a 20 year period. I have made an approximate calculation of my coffee consumption. One liter per day for 40 years. For ten years I drank two liters per day. Now I have exchanged about 50% of my daily coffee, often up to 100% with tea, because tea makes me sleep so much better. I will not care if like 22% or 13% or 6% of the goodies in the tea is inhibited by the milk or cream. I'm from a nordic country where we drink a lot of milk, yoghurt, cream. It's in our culture and over time I will get everything through my system. I can inform you that I'm 48 and I get told I look like 28 -35.
I'll stick to dairy milk in my black tea. Apart from the unpleasant colour and flavour of nut milks, nuts are a potent trigger of excruciating migraines for me. I'll have to trust you to my gall bladder to pump out enough bile salts to deal with the fat globules.
This is questionable. It sounds like Dr. Li was describing was that adding milk to tea creates liposomal polyphenols, which would make them MORE ABSORBABLE by cells. I don’t find any references to validate what he says-to the contrary there are studies in PubMed that say adding milk does NOT affect the polyphenols. The concentration of polyphenols has more to do with the length of the infusion time. I am curious if anyone has found any studies related to this one way or the other?
Add lemon juice to your green tea instead of milk - it increases the bioavailability of the polyphenols by about 6 times.

Also, those same anti nutrients are often found to be BENEFICIAL, so clearly the studies are mixed. If you’re that scared about them, cooking removes a lot of them. Also, different combinations of foods have a synergistic effect (turmeric and black pepper, onions and beans, etc). What I’m getting at is that eating a variety of foods is better. If you’re only drinking green tea, then yes it’s bad. However, as part of a varied diet, it can only help. Also, the amount of “anti nutrients” found in coffee and tea is negligible. The benefits far outweigh something that’s up for debate. I would suggest you stop looking at internet gurus who have at most a chiropractic license, and look at the actual data and research. Most of their claims are bogus or take studies out of context (AKA misrepresentation).

I love my masala chai since childhood with full fat cows milk. I will never give that up.
I drink black tea with whole milk and I love the flavor and it makes me happy! So I’m going to keep doing that!

Yes, abosulety amazing, that blue tea "Milky Blue" brewed by Mariage freres. It really is milky in a much better way. The perfum, the light, the color, the taste, the creamy... My favourit tea ever
Fruit and dairy is a significant part of my diet, so this is disappointing. I have adapted to black coffee, which was to extend my fast in the morning, but I'm not sure I will comply with this one. I do eat extensively from Dr. Li's 200 foods list. Thanks for having him on!

Supplements are absolutely necessary because our food is grown in depleted soils, foods are transported over long distances (not fresh). Plus, to get the daily requirements in this day and age when we don't move, would mean having to eat 3,000 to 4,000 calories. We are trying to get the same Daily Requirements eating half of the calories. It ain't going to happen - we need to supplement or eat more food.
Depnding on where you live and how you feed yourself. Many times teas, herbal teas, salt, spices and all the herbs you can grow are enough and even better than suppléments
Absolutely. There is no way you would get all the nutrients from food alone. You'll need to consume an Insane amount of vegetables, fruits, nuts and dairy to get the daily amount required. A good wholefood multivitamin is a good addition for majority people.
~Vitamins are synthetic and don't get absorbed property, as well as being toxic.
There is a reason why your urine turns BRIGHT YELLOW after taking a multi-vitamin.
THat's your body expelling all of the useless waste, while your kidneys have to go in overdrive to filter that crap out of your body.
Totally.
Pretty much anyone who doesn't supplement their diet will be deficient or at sub-optminal levels of essential minerals.
Some mass-produced fruits & vegetables from commercial agriculture contain like 30% less essential nutrients than they did just in the 1950s. Maybe even less than that. The soils are being completely depleted and refertilized just in order for the crops to grow and produce fruit.
Ive put raw milk into tea. You get grease on top but the tea tastes delucious. I now drink my tea black as I live in Spain where customs are different.
I so appreciate all dr Li information we are so privileged to be able to get this helpful information from such a knowledgeable man and his book is sooo good and interesting to read😀
I'm not sure putting mushrooms on a window sill is going to produce vitamin D without direct UVB exposure, directly in the sun outside. I am curious to know tho because it would be far more convenient to put them in the window sill. And of course I guess they would still need direct sunlight in the sill. Basically, it's my understanding UVB is blocked through windows and that mushrooms would need that.
Also concerning D, even if you're in a sunny climate/zone it's my understanding that you probably still should consider supplementing and/or fortification instead of the solely depending on the sun. At the same time I'm not suggesting don't get sun. It's just recommended to limit it in such a way that you may not be getting enough D because it depends on the amount of skin exposed, skin color, how much time and angle of the Sun, etc. and too much sun causes cancer. But other beneficial things happen when you get sun like infrared in the morning increases intracellular melatonin, getting it midday might help with the D, and ubiquinol is synthesized especially if you have chlorophyll flowing through your blood. But these "may" only require minimal sun exposure. But probably not enough to get the amount of presumed D you would need.
To make things more confusing, maybe, one of the healthiest tribes in the world, I think the Tsimane, may tend to run low on certain vitamins like D, E, and K but higher in other micronutrients. There's so much synergy to be seen when considering the whole with endless variables to consider.
I find these things fascinating, I'm curious if I'm off here in my layman self and whatnot 💚
I have never added milk/cream with my tea, just sweetener. I have been using stevia for about 18 years now. Never used any of the man-made artificial sweeteners.
Thanks for this information on drinking tea. I drink ice tea all the time with just a little bit of squeezed lemon. I never add anything else to the Ice Tea - no sugars at all. Good thing to know about adding milk to tea, but all my life, I have never done this.
I know people who drink coffee do this, but I am also not a coffee drinker.
I agree eat the whole food first ❤
Thanks Doctor Li. What about Chia seeds for Omega 3?
No, plant sources only offer ALAs, which our bodies are able to convert less than 10% of those lipids to the beneficial DHA or EPA. I consider any sale of "vegan" omega 3s to be just a marketing scam.
I drink organic mushroom instant coffee with macademia milk and date syrup. It is good and I was never a coffee drinker until recently.
That sounds good
Just do mushrooms, makes everything way more exciting 😂
Green tea or any tea should be savored for its unique taste & scent alone. No milk, no sugar.
How about mixing matcha green tea with spirulina powder, wheatgrass powder and moringa powder in carrot and pumpkin smoothie? Add walnut, pumpkin and chia seeds into the smoothie as breakfast food.

I like green tea without milk and most black teas with dairy . Puerh tea is a blacktea thats good with no milk but the red teas of india generally benefit from dairy as it makes the tannins less bitter. If you want to drink black tea black you have to pick more expensive teas.
In addition, the fat % in British cow milk is quite high. Coming from SE Europe, I gagged on dairy because of high fat content. Obviously, to those used to that milk, this is not an issue.
I always add ginger and other spices to my milk tea, and sugar
Sugar? 😮
I would say that reduces the benefits of the tea.
Use SweetLeaf liquid stevia rather than sugar, which loves cancer. Do not eat sugar. Try to use plant milk vs. cow milk to get full polyphenol benefits of your tea.

A study from the University of Copenhagen claims that milk in coffee helped to fight infammation better that just coffee. ("Why adding a bit of milk to your morning coffee might be good for you"). So is milk in coffee good or bad? The fact that fat binds to polyphenols does not need to mean that it would be digested worse, it could even be digestet better or at a more favorable place in the body.
Also, even if people in southern Europe drink their espressi black, they do it after a meal. The fat from the meal is not far away from the coffee.
Well, actually in Italy a black expresso (sometimes with sugar or lemon peel) is breakfast.
@@libertyblueskyes2564 Thank you, then I got it wrong. This is also the first time that I read that anybody would put lemon peel into an expresso.
Dairy = inflammation

Goat milk is known to digest easily it resemble human milk . But milk from animal too have casein ( milk protein ) that in some cause auto immune disease and has growth factor to increase size if any cancer cell . Goat milk has lot of fat too .
But milk make tea or coffee caffein less acidic due to calcium in it .

Once I learn the health consequences of putting cow milk into my tea, I stop putting cow milk in my tea. Did this a long time ago. However, I didn't make the switch of just using soy milk. That's a good bit of information, so now I'll use soy milk to get that effect that I've been missing since I learned of the effect cow milk has on the catechins in tea. Excellent point!
Organic raw milk is the winner
@@lightninggornall You may like it, but it will still kill the catechins in the tea.
@@jayrober4834 Organic soy is great for you, of course there is bio-individualism. A lot of the knock on soy comes from the diary industry and has been totally debunked. As long as it's not GMO soy it's great. That's why Okinawans have lived on soy, rice 🍣, vegetables, sea weed and a little fish for centuries and live in one of the few blue zones on the planet. Good rule of thumb: find out what they eat in blue zones, then eat what they eat, and live an authentic lifestyle like they do. Many blessings to you. 🙏🏽

I'm confused why dairy fat would cause a "soap bubble" that would impact absorption and non-dairy fat wouldn't. From my research, many polyphenols are better absorbed with a fat source. Theoretically, polyphenols wrapped in a soap bubble would ensure it enters the colon intact (where our microbiome feasts on polyphenols) to further facilitate positive results. I doubt it would come out the other end without microbiome interaction involved.
Does coconut milk work well with green or black tea?

Rapeseed (canola) oil has omega 3 in it, not only that it has what is considered the optimum ratio to omega 6 (1:2). I buy a lot of vegan soy products and I always make sure the oil used is rapeseed oil. I used to take an omega 3 supplement but after researching rapeseed oil I am confident that I now get enough in my diet. I also use it for stir frying sometimes. I avoid all other oils if I can although I do not stick to this completely. I have also noticed that more and more vegan products use rapeseed oil so I guess it is a growing awareness of the benefits by consumers and producers that is driving this trend.

@@stanmarsh2499 Find what hard to believe, sorry?
I am just clarifying because from what I understand you are saying that milk doesn't agree with you but you don't believe milk is bad unless there is a peer reviewed study?
@@underated17 Don't know where you got the impression milk doesn't agree with me. I'm of Irish descent. My ancestors lived off milk and foods made from milk for thousands of years. I have no problem with milk or any other dairy products. In fact milk is listed as being beneficial for my gout.
Although a lot of people do have trouble with milk, I have seen many studies that show definitive benefits to dairy consumption, especially as people age. I have noticed a tendency of people, even professionals who should know better, to just pull "facts" out of their arses as if it was based on empirical evidence, when it is not.
The science of nutrition is very new and very poorly moderated. Almost every study I have ever read, if not every study, ends with a disclaimer that "more research is needed." Definitive results are very rare exceptions. When discussing research it is important to remember that human beings from different parts of the world have developed different resistances, different mutations and adaptations. Aside from the fact that most research has been done on rodent models (which, of course has it's place), when research is done on humans the ethnic background of the research subjects needs to be taken into account and never is.
When someone makes a bald statement that something is definitively bad for everyone, or has a particular effect/reaction with another substance, I want to know whether they have some genuine, real, scientific evidence to back up their claims, or whether they are just talking out their arse.
@@jimbrogan9835 I thought you wrote your bile doesn't work on milk. I read that wrong. Conventional dairy is a problem. At least, here in Canada it is.

It is the quality of the milk maybe. There is also the blood type that I have that is rare I am ab pos and it does better with vegetables but I am not sure about dairy.

I wonder if the fat from the milk really is leaving the body and dragging the tea polyphenols with it. Isn't fat absorbed by the gut? And taking the tea molecules with it into the blood? I drink coffee with mascarpone. Delicious!

Cheese????

It is uncommon to put milk in green tea. Oh yes bring on the Taiwan Milk Tea.
Imagine a billion of Indians who drink Chai as a staple and there are so many chai vendors who make a living off selling thousands of cups of chai.( Quite sweet milk tea) Though it is certainly something to bear in mind, using almond or rice milk instead.

It depends on which tea I'm making, I add milk. I add NO milk to Herbal teas.

But it's not an argument that fat in the tea inhibits the uptake of something when through life we drink like a 25m swimming pool in a 20 year period. I have made an approximate calculation of my coffee consumption. One liter per day for 40 years. For ten years I drank two liters per day. Now I have exchanged about 50% of my daily coffee, often up to 100% with tea, because tea makes me sleep so much better. I will not care if like 22% or 13% or 6% of the goodies in the tea is inhibited by the milk or cream. I'm from a nordic country where we drink a lot of milk, yoghurt, cream. It's in our culture and over time I will get everything through my system. I can inform you that I'm 48 and I get told I look like 28 -35.
I love milk tea( masalla chai) with cream.
I'll stick to dairy milk in my black tea. Apart from the unpleasant colour and flavour of nut milks, nuts are a potent trigger of excruciating migraines for me. I'll have to trust you to my gall bladder to pump out enough bile salts to deal with the fat globules.

Have you seen the amount of tea we drink in the UK, in the net I bet we consume more polyphenols than most Americans.
This is questionable. It sounds like Dr. Li was describing was that adding milk to tea creates liposomal polyphenols, which would make them MORE ABSORBABLE by cells. I don’t find any references to validate what he says-to the contrary there are studies in PubMed that say adding milk does NOT affect the polyphenols. The concentration of polyphenols has more to do with the length of the infusion time. I am curious if anyone has found any studies related to this one way or the other?
Skimmed milk, surely that's the answer. I have used skimmed milk for tea for many years. I only use whole milk for cooking.
