Do soy milk and coffee whitener block the health properties of tea like milk does?

I have read up on the health benefits of green, black, white, and oolong tea (made from steeping the buds/twigs from the tea bush, Camellia sinensis). These teas include antioxidants that are good for the human body but the antioxidants are blocked if you mix the tea with milk.





Does anyone know, if I mix soy milk or one of those edible oil coffee whitener products with my tea instead, will the antioxidants still be blocked therefore stopping the health benefits of the tea from reaching my body?

Do soy milk and coffee whitener block the health properties of tea like milk does?
your best bet is to go with the soy milk, I'd stay away from the coffee creamers, they're not good in tea, at least I don't think so, the soy milk will not block the antioxidants of the tea, it is the hormones given to cows that are causing the blockage.
Reply:According to a recent study published in the European Heart Journal, the researchers at Medizinische Klinik mit Schwerpunkt Kardiologie und Angiologie, Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin, found that black tea significantly improved Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in humans compared with water, whereas addition of milk completely reduced the effects of tea. The researchers concluded that milk counteracts the favorable health effects of tea on vascular function.





However, I'm not sure if there are studies done with soy milk or other creamer. Just drink the tea as is - don't add anything and enjoy it naturally!
Reply:In order to get the full effect, one should enjoy ones tea with no added ingredients, or just a spot of honey at most.
