Is It Healthier to Drink Coffee with or Without Milk?

51views

Some people drink only black coffee, thinking that adding milk cancels out the health benefits of the drink. However, researchers say that milk doesn’t ruin coffee at all.

Here’s how the myth that adding milk to coffee is harmful has been debunked.

Should you add milk to your coffee?

Older studies claimed that the casein protein in milk binds polyphenols in coffee.

Therefore, almond milk, oat milk and coconut milk were added instead of regular cow’s milk.

A later study showed that the milk protein not only bound the polyphenols but also improved their absorption.

Therefore, whether or not milk is added to coffee is purely a matter of taste.
