Neither milk nor tea will cause weight gain, but why does milk tea cause weight gain?

First of all, let me explain milk tea. The classic method of making milk tea, expressed as "white tea" in Australia, is to use boiled strong tea, usually Ceylon black tea, with unsweetened concentrated milk (just evaporate to remove the water) Or ordinary hot milk will do, and then you can add sugar or no sugar according to your personal preference. The standard milk coffee is also made in the same way, except that it uses espresso as the base and adds 65-degree milk foam.

Drinking the recommended amount of milk, about 300ml, can make almost 2 cups of milk tea. The tea itself has no calories, so there is no problem that milk tea has more calories than milk (it is not milk tea’s fault that sugar must be added). I have kept a cup of the above-mentioned standard milk tea and coffee every day for breakfast and a cup of beverage for 10 years. I often drink milk tea from outside when I am at home and abroad. The guide is - "Black tea latte without sugar" because domestic milk tea shops "Latte" is milk tea, and "milk tea" is actually "oil tea"; and the rest of the time I eat a free and balanced diet, and my BMI has been around 18 for 10 years. This personal practice that has no scientific significance fully illustrates my love for milk tea. -_-

This black tea latte is more in line with the standard milk tea formula and is taken from a well-known domestic chain milk tea shop. You can basically see their production process, which is simple black tea with a small amount of milk. It may not be "low calorie", but it does not require additives.

But the milk tea that is being criticized today is partly because it is cheaper and easier to make. It uses black tea base and hydrogenated vegetable oil (which does not necessarily contain trans fatty acids, as long as it is hydrogenated completely). Such milk tea In fact, it is "oil tea", which naturally loses all the nutrients of milk. If sugar is added at the same time, it will be as good as Coke in junk drinks.

Milk caps and other tea drinks are also flavored tea drinks. They are made from mass-produced cheese powder, seasoned with sugar and salt, and then whipped with a small amount of cream. The nutrition is completely incomparable with milk. Basically It has nothing to do with dairy products.
