I recently read that when milk is added to tea, it vastly reduces the health benefits that the tea would have had, if drunk alone.
I propose that someone invent a milk with special additives which bind to those chemicals in milk which would otherwise bind to beneficial chemicals in tea.
Note --
one of the chemicals in milk which blocks a beneficial effect of tea is casein; since casein is a typical component of non-dairy creamer, it wouldn't help to switch to fake milk... fake milk probably reduces the good health effects of tea almost as much as real milk.

"Plant-based "milks", such as soy milk, do not contain casein and are not known to have similar effects on tea." [jutta, Apr 15 2009]

The title is too negative. All that "anti" makes you sound grumpy. You should use terms like "suppressant" and "inhibitor" and such. |

Antioxidant - suppressant - inhibitor milk supplement. |

Tea is overrated in health terms. There are a lot of other herbs out there which have the same stuff in larger quantities and in more available states. Adding milk to tea is also a rather strange activity, i always think. I hate tea and i never drink milk though, so maybe i'm not qualified to comment. For that reason, i'm abstaining. |

I find myself not entirely lacking disfavour for this idea. |

Antioxidants are bad for you. There should be a milk concentrate which enhances the binding effect but dispenses with the other unneeded attributes of milk. |

Tea+milk=anathema, even for me, and i consider tea to be an ink rather than a drink.
[Ian], it's a triple negative. |

Anyone for Melamine ? The Chinese have been doing it for three thousand years apparently.... |

Ah, well they have the fake eggs too. What is it with them? Edit: which seems to be a hoax. |

I guess when you've got a population of over a billion it doesn't matter if you lose a few. Could lead to a great advertising tagline...."Millions tried, only a few died". |

[Hairy], that line could also be used for peanuts, shellfish, driving or skydiving. You make Melamine sound almost timid. |
