Milk Is A Bad Pair for Tea
The consumption of milk is good for health, but the advantage of milk will disappear when the tea is mixed with milk. A study in Germany demonstrated that the sedative effect of black tea for relaxation of the artery will lose if it is contaminated with milk.
Tea is a beverage most consumed in the world after water. Especially after reported that the intake of tea will help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Stangl and his research team found that women who consumed a half-liter of black tea has a looser artery than not consuming tea. Artery relaxation is shown to be influenced by blood flow caused by tea. This condition will make cardiovascular disease can be reduced.
The effects on the human heart is basically dependent on the ENOS, an enzyme that synthesizes messenger nitric oxide. Tea increases the activity of ENOS. But if the tea is mixed with milk to 10%, the relaxation effect is not seen. Research by Stangl has shown that casein proteins from milk blocked the effect of tea. This type of protein will tighten the enzyme of tea, which is named catecin or EGCG. Catecin is a polyphenol, a material that is deemed to be responsible for the health effects of tea.
