Question

Black and green tea have a growing body of research suggesting there are positive health benefits on because of the anti-oxidants. However, there is ongoing discussion about the impact of adding milk to tea. Does adding milk impact the health benefits of the tea? Use your understanding from this unit about solutions and food chemistry to take one side of the controversy and propose an argument for why you think adding milk hurts or helps the health benefits of tea. Physics

Answer 1

Well, basing off of prerequisite knowledge of adding milk to either Black or Green teen then I would personally take the side that adding milk would not hurt one physically, but to point out the facts,

There seems to be a consensus about one thing: Milk proteins can bind with the beneficial plant compounds known as flavonols in tea. (You may have heard these compounds referred to by specific names such as catechins.) According to some scientists, the binding may make it tough for the body to absorb the flavonols and get the health benefits.

Conversely you would have to point out the positives of adding Milk to tea for instance, weight maintenance. Rick Hursel of Maastricht University Medical Center in Holland has published a review study that finds green tea with milk may slightly increase metabolism. 

I hope this helps you out! It'd be helpful if you friend and thank!
