4. Far flung food: Europe's distant diets
   12-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Across the European Union, food is travelling more, and not always in ways that make sense.

   Research published online Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2007, in European Heart Journal has found that the protective effect tea has on the cardiovascular system is totally wiped out by adding milk. A group of proteins in milk (caseins) interact with the tea to decrease the concentrations of the protective flavonoids. Researchers are suggesting that tea drinking nations who customarily add milk, such as the British, should consider omitting milk at least some of the time.

   For people unable to simultaneously rub their stomach while patting their head, a new twist may be at hand.
