    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.

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.
