Why Your Daily Milk Tea + Sugar Is Doing More Harm Than Good
That sweet, creamy milk tea you love? It’s actually one of the most inflammatory combos you can put into your body — and here’s why:
1. Sugar spikes your blood glucose
The high sugar load causes rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar. These swings trigger inflammation, fatigue, cravings, and even mood swings.
2. Milk + tea is a digestive nightmare for many
Tea contains compounds (tannins) that can interfere with how your body digests proteins in milk. For some people, this leads to bloating, gas, and gut irritation — which are all signs of inflammation.
3. It feeds bad gut bacteria
Sugar feeds harmful microbes in your gut, throwing off your microbiome balance. A disrupted gut = higher inflammation levels.
4. It stresses your hormones
Frequent sugar hits push your insulin levels up and can strain your adrenals. Over time, this contributes to hormonal imbalance — especially for women.
5. It creates silent inflammation
You may not feel it immediately, but daily intake can contribute to chronic inflammation — the kind linked to weight gain, skin issues, joint pain, headaches, and even poor immunity.
⚠️ The truth:
It’s not the tea itself that’s the problem — it’s the combo of dairy + sugar + artificial flavors that turns your cup into an inflammatory bomb.
A better swap:
Try herbal teas, black tea with honey, or dairy-free options like oat or coconut milk with minimal sweetener.
