Learn something new today. Just want to share with you all. Overdrink tea with milk may pose threats to one's health.

I often drink 2 cups per day when having lunch and dinner outside. Wonder if I need to cut down. Any ideas?

if you were having say 6 or 7 mugs a day then yes, it might be worth cutting down.
That blog is 98% rubbish. Tea is fine to drink and a good few mugs of hot tea will do you a lot of good. Yes, it has caffeine in it (which is partly why it's refreshing) but not very much and the rubbish about milk is just beyond belief (of course you should avoid it if you're lactose intollerant - no shit sherlock!).
Do you believe everything you read on obscure blogs?
Seriously, who puts evaporated milk in their tea anyway?

The evaporated milk gives the tea a silky creaminess that is quite nice.
In the Netherlands and north-western Germany (Ost-Friesland - they drink the most tea per person in the World) a lot of people drink their tea (and coffee) with evaporated milk. It's how I drank my tea until I was 12 or 13. Now I'm a "No milk please" man. I still drink my regular coffee with koffiemelk (=evaporated milk).
When I worked in LIbya you could only get evaported milk or sometimes the more disgusting UHT. I stopped drinking tea and only drank black coffee or beer for a few years.
Do you make yourself Hong Kong style tea at home then?
The article is a load of rubbish, randomly posted on a random blog.
No. Since I will suffer from diarrhea if drinking milk alone, I don't have milk at home. I have Tea with milk in restaurants for lunch and dinner in general, for tea and in client's office sometimes. I have no idea what kind of milk used.
I agree.
