Adding milk to coffee may reduce its health benefits

This is due to casein in the milk binding to antioxidants in the coffee like chlorogenic acid, and making them less bioavailable (PMID: 21627318)

The best bet for coffee drinkers is to use light or medium roasts, and either drink it without milk or use a plant-based milk.
