About the effect of milk tea on the body, he said, it is common that drinking milk tea is harmful to health. Although tea lovers do not think about it, it is true that milk tea causes health risks.

Tea contains anti-oxidants. By drinking red tea without milk and sugar, the body gets this anti-oxidant. But when it is mixed with sugar, milk, condensed milk, the antioxidant called catechin in the tea reacts with the kejin protein in the milk.

In this, tea loses its anti-oxidant properties and on the other hand, milk loses its protein properties. This makes the tea acidic. The result is inflammation in the body. By adding sugar and condensed milk, the damage is further increased. Excessive consumption of milk tea, especially if it is high in sugar and caffeine, can lead to weight gain, digestive problems, acidity and dental problems.

Drinking milk tea can cause constipation, weight gain, insomnia, flatulence, digestive problems, blood pressure problems. Besides, drinking milk tea regularly has an effect on the skin. People who drink a lot of milk tea can develop various skin diseases like acne or rashes.
