Milk Alternatives Nestle researchers showed that by adding milk into your coffee
does not affect the amount of polyphenol being delivered to your
bloodstream. Consuming the right amount of coffee and dairy
does not harm your body but there might be a few reasons to
consider:

- If you want to loose weight, don’t add milk. Enjoying black
coffee without sugar will only add 5 calories per cup to your
daily calorie intake. By adding milk, the calories will rise sig-
nificantly to about 56 calories.
- If you suffer from acidity, adding milk to your coffee will neu-
tralize the pH level since black coffee has an extreme acid level
which will increase acid concentration in your urine.
