[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Latte coffee is the spiritual comfort of many commuters during working hours. The latest research has found that coffee and milk have unexpected benefits. The combination of the two can double the anti-inflammatory properties of immune cells.

"Journal Of Agricultural And Food Chemistry" (Journal Of Agricultural And Food Chemistry) published a new study on the 30th. Something as simple as a cup of coffee with milk can have anti-inflammatory effects; when bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances invade the body When the disease occurs, the human immune system will protect us through white blood cells and chemical substances, resulting in inflammation, which is the body's automatic defense response.

Polyphenols with strong antioxidant effects, found in humans, plants, fruits and vegetables, are also beneficial to humans because they help reduce oxidative stress caused by inflammation in the body.

Research from the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen shows that when a polyphenol reacts with an amino acid (the building block of proteins), its inhibitory effect on inflammation in immune cells is enhanced; they observed the anti-inflammatory effect in cell experiments, using Immune cells treated with a combination of polyphenols and amino acids were twice as effective at fighting inflammation as cells treated with polyphenols alone.

Coffee beans are full of polyphenols, while milk is rich in protein. They tested whether these molecules also bind to each other inside the drink. The research shows that the reaction between polyphenols and protein also occurs in latte coffee .

According to the research team, it is clearly conceivable that this mixture of substances may also have beneficial effects on inflammation in humans, which will be investigated further in the future, first in animals and hopefully in humans in the future.
