When milk is added to coffee, it may well put a damper on destructive inflammation that turbocharged immune cells create. Food science researchers at the University of Copenhagen are investigating this possibility as they study the synergy between the anti-inflammatory agents polyphenols and protein-containing foods.

Their experiments show that the anti-inflammatory properties of polyphenols are twice as powerful after the polyphenols are exposed to amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Polyphenols are found in many fruits, vegetables, and coffee beans while milk is a rich source of protein.

Since out-of-control immune inflammation is the basis of Covid’s chronic, destructive effects on human vital organs, drinking coffee with milk added may well help limit the long-term impact of CoVid.
