A Splash of Milk in Coffee May Have Health Benefits We Didn't Know About - ScienceAlert

They are thought to do this in part by controlling inflammation, a complex immune response involving cells called macrophages that release several inflammatory mediators.

Inflammation helps protect against infection, but if it isn't controlled properly, it can lead to diseases like type II diabetes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.

To support this research, the authors successfully showed in another new study that polyphenols bind to proteins in a coffee drink with milk.

But when polyphenols CA and CGA were combined with amino acid cysteines found in milk proteins, their anti-inflammatory effects received a boost.

Macrophage cells exposed to polyphenols on their own, for instance, showed more than 2.5 times as much TNF activity as they did in the face of a polyphenols-cysteine adduct.

"Our results can be used as an important reference in applications of adducts formed from phenolic compounds and amino acids in future functional food or medicinal products that aim to modulate metabolic, neurological, or immune-related diseases," the researchers conclude in their paper.
