Avoid This Type of Milk With Your Matcha Latte 🙅🏻‍♀️

The answer, if you ask me, is any plant milk you like BUT I would not recommend dairy milk, and I promise I’m not just saying that because I’m vegan.
When you mix matcha directly with milk, the casein protein in dairy milk binds to polyphenols in matcha, alters the bioavailability and blocks absorption of antioxidants. In short, you’re missing out on potential health benefits that matcha has to offer.
The good news is, this isn’t an issue with plant milk, so opt for something like oat, almond, soy or whatever else you’d like! It’s better for the planet anyway 🙂

[@limeflavoredsoda]

While its true the casein in dairy milk can bind to the polyphenols and theoretically reduce antioxidant absorption, I think it's a bit misleading to say that the average consumer is "missing out on health benefits" by using dairy milk. The primary health benefits tea drinkers recieve from drinking matcha aren't going to be due to antioxidants in the tea (although it probably helps due to the significant amount), but because drinking tea probably displaces the drinking of other less healthy beverages in someone's diet. If someone is super calorie or health conscious, then yea they can omit milk since milk will add some calories or "block" these antioxidants but I would be super worried if they were obsessed about the 100 or so calories adding a cup of milk would add or the antioxidants they would lose out on Based on my skimming of a couple of articles, it also seems that a lot of literature hasn't been able to agree if combining dairy milk with antioxidant rich foods (so tea but including other food/drinks) does limit absorption. I do understand this is a 10 second video, so there's not a whole lot of time to include every single detail, such as the inconclusive opinion about dairy milk and antioxidants. I do like your content, but felt the need to let you know since bioavailability was one of the main points of the video. I'm a biology major and scientific communication is one of my passions so this got kinda long sorry haha

[@SetTheCurve]

It binds with caseine, which is then degraded by enzymes in your gut releasing the polyphenol. Mixing with dairy will not impact the bioavailability of antioxidants, and might even improve their effects by allowing them to release into your body more gradually.

[@SetTheCurve]

@@fag.destroyer casein is a typical milk protein that our bodies have no problem fully degrading into smaller peptides and amino acids. Your body does not absorb casein protein whole, it must be broken down to be used as a resource by the body. If the casein binds to polyphenols, and then the casein no longer exists, you only need your intuition to understand what would then happen to the previously bound polyphenol. I didn’t use a source for this; if I searched for data what I’d really be looking for is some recognized evidence that milk reduces use effect of antioxidant polyphenols because that sounds like something someone made up. While I admit that I’m just going with my “gut” here, I do have a degree in biochemistry. However I don’t claim to have specific knowledge about this one reaction/bodily process.

It’s hard to measure how much dairy people eat over a long period of time. And there could be other factors that are different in people who eat and drink a lot of dairy. It is unclear whether it’s dairy increasing the risk of prostate cancer in current studies. We need better designed studies to find out more about the potential link And There is no good, consistent evidence that milk and dairy products can cause breast cancer.

The complexation of casein and polyphenols doesn't necessarily mean that the complexes don't break up during digestion. Instead, the complexation can slow down the metabolism of polyphenols, leading to a more sustained release into the bloodstream. This slowed metabolism might have beneficial effects, such as prolonged antioxidant activity and improved bioavailability.

Unfortunately plant based milks are really not a healthy alternative to milk. Especially if you can tolerate dairy or A2 dairy. If you’re making plant based milks at home you’re avoiding the nasty additives they put into those milks, but your also missing out on all the vitamins they fortify those milks with to make them healthy like calcium, iodine, b-vitamins, vitamin A, phosphorus, and zinc. So you’re left with something low in nutrition and protein and extremely high in oxalates. Oat milk in particular has 4g of oxalates per cup!! Oxalates bind to minerals like calcium and prevent the body from absorbing beneficial nutrients! Oxalates can even cause kidney stones. I would stick to regular milk if you can it’s loaded with vitamins and protein.

i love my matcha with almond milk

[@faye90125]

i like almond bc of the nutty flavor it adds

[@Veggiekins]

Me too! So yum

[@middlefinger9819]

What brand you use for matcha?

[@flipino007a]

Plant based milks are substantially higher in phytoestrogens, resulting in hormone disregulation...best bioavailability begins with whisking with water, and using natural, full fat milk...your hormones will thank you

[@Veggiekins]

This is not about which milk is “healthier” it’s about matcha specifically! But that being said my hormones definitely will not thank me for drinking what I’m allergic to 😂 health is very personal and individual for a reason

[@cawashka]

if i had to use a non-dairy option i'd definitely go for soy however i use sheep milk :p

[@Ana-sc6dp]

How come you’re straining it? Isn’t matcha supposed to not touch metal?

[@claracatlady9844]

My favourite are oat and plain dairy

Gorgeous video, thank you for sharing!

That's true that almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk do not contain casein protein. This should mean that they would not complex with polyphenols in the same way as whole milk, but they often have their own set of additives, such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and sweeteners, which can affect the bioavailability of polyphenols.

So many options 😁 Oat milk Soy milk Almond milk Coconut milk Cashew milk Macadamia milk Whole milk Condensed milk Skim milk Goat milk Sheep milk 😋

I love oatmilk it has the best texture and flavor and is so creamy

[@billyhughes9776]

Whole cows milk (A2) tastes the best to me so I'll stick with that -- thanks for the info.

[@sarahe.2395]

I grew up drinking normal cows milk for my he store and ive recently started drinking almond and oat milks and I gotta say they taste way better than what you think!
