Coffee is the most consumed beverage drink in the world. Many people like to drink it as soon as they wake up in the morning. The benefits of drinking coffee have been mentioned in many studies. But still, very few people are aware that as soon as milk is added to coffee, its effect reduces.
On social media, neuroscientist Robert Love has also justified the idea of mixing dairy products like milk in coffee, saying that by doing so the health effects of coffee are greatly reduced. He says that when you add milk, it reduces the body's ability to absorb the polyphenols present in coffee, due to which you do not get all its benefits.
Evidence found in the study also
A study published in The Journal of AOAC International in 2019 also found evidence of negative effects when mixing milk with several foods containing polyphenols, including coffee. In such a situation, it was concluded that adding milk reduces the antioxidant properties of coffee, which significantly reduces the benefits it provides.
Mix these milk alternatives with coffee
However, adding dairy products to coffee reduces its health benefits. But if you do not like black coffee then you can use milk alternatives like soya milk, or almond milk.
Black coffee has many benefits
Neuroscientists say that black coffee is more beneficial for health than milk coffee. Black coffee especially shows very effective and positive effects on gut bacteria and the brain. Apart from this, polyphenols found in coffee prove to be very helpful in preventing cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.
