HEALTH BENEFITS OF MILK IN TEA

Early day motion 619, tabled 15 January 2007 by Daniel Kawczynski (Conservative). Signed by 20 members.

That this House is always keen to welcome scientific research into the health benefits of food and drink, but is hostile to a recent German study calling into question the application of milk to tea as reducing any health benefits to be had from tea; recognises other reports that counter such claims; and also wishes to raise awareness of the health benefits of adding milk to tea of raising vitamin B intake by up to 30 per cent., folic acid by five per cent. and calcium intake by 21 per cent. more than if the tea were drunk alone.

Signatures by party: Conservative 10, Labour 5, Liberal Democrat 4, Plaid Cymru 1.
