With so many studies aligning the benefits of coffee with a reduced risk of certain diseases, someone finally asked the question–what happens when milk is added? Do the benefits disappear? The short answer is: No problem. No affect or even effect!

Now for the complexity part of the equation: It was instant coffee that was studied. the trial included 9 people–do 9 people constitute a trial?? The conclusion is sweet: Adding milk or cream does not affect the antioxidant benefits from the coffee.

Time to get serious. Coffee has a long list of benefits and, of course, some negatives. Nothing’s perfect! Yet a study with so few people and one that uses instant coffee grabs my attention just for the sheer joy of another eventual positive coffee report. Nothing else; nothing further.

Time to do a larger milk trial. Nestle sponsored this one: Think they should consider a bigger one as the teaser info works in their favor!

Me, I drink it black. The stronger, the better.

Piling up the antioxidants!
