No more milk in tea? Dammit! Curse those caseins


For those of us who love to drink rooi-bos (or even normal tea) and know it to be much healthier (and far more superior) than coffee, will be shocked to know that if you take this shot of anti-heart attack drink with milk you are completely nulling out all effects the anti-oxidants should have on fighting off all those horrible things that make your ticker stop.

Without boring you with all the scientific stuff, tea has something in it called "catechin". Now catechin helps prevent (emphasis on prevent) effects against heart diseases. Unfortunately our calcium dosage of white flavour has decided that this just isn't good enough and dilutes the concentration of catechin due to a little punk called caseins (which is found in milk).

So, what does this all mean?
It means that if you have no issues with dying from a heart attack, keeping drinking tea with milk.
If on the other hand you want to add +10 to heart attack defense, stop adding milk! It's killing you! Well it's making it easier for the reaper to kill you. (It's like running around naked with PvP on, outside ICC )

FYI : Supposedly this doesn't happen when you drink coffee. But who wants to drink coffee anyways??
