How does the milk react with the catechins and polyphenols in the tea?
The evidence either way is weak at the moment. All that is known for sure
is that pure tea is a healthy drink that has been shown to prevent disease.

I do like milk and sugar in some kinds of tea, such as Indian tea blends,
but on the whole I think tea is better off without it. If a tea has so
little character that it must be doctored up to drink, there's something
wrong with it.
