Default DR. WEIL: Tea healthiest without milk (Rocky Mountain News)

But who is to say this is actually a bad thing? For all we know, the catechins
in tea might turn out to be hazardous, or the protein complexes turn out to be
good for you.

I _do_ know that I don't like the taste of tea with milk, so I don't drink
it that way.
