    Addition of milk prevents vascular protective effects of tea. Lorenz M, Jochmann N, von Krosigk A, Martus P, Baumann G, Stangl K, Stangl V. Eur Heart J. 2007 Jan;28(2):219-23. Epub 2007 Jan 9. PMID: 17213230 doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehl442 In conclusion, milk may counteract the favourable health effects of tea on vascular function. The finding that the tea-induced improvement of vascular function in humans is completely attenuated after addition of milk may have broad implications on the mode of tea preparation and consumption. In addition, it indicates that caution is warranted in the design of studies involving nutritional flavonoids.
