How to choose the healthiest coffee, and the effects of adding milk vs. soymilk.

The video I referred to is Nutrient-Blocking Effects of Dairy (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/nutrient-blocking-effects-of-dairy). I was excited to see all the data. Here’s more on the pros/cons of coffee:
• Coffee & Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/coffee-and-cancer/)
• Preventing Liver Cancer with Coffee? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-liver-cancer-with-coffee/)
• Coffee & Artery Function (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/Coffee-and-Artery-Function)
• Coffee & Mortality (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/coffee-and-mortality)

Here’s the effects of dairy on berries: Benefits of Blueberries for Blood Pressure May Be Blocked by Yogurt (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-blueberries-for-blood-pressure-may-be-blocked-by-yogurt/).

I can imagine folks wondering about other milks. Almond, rice, and coconut-based milks have so little protein that I doubt there’d be a blocking effect, but they’ve never been tested directly to my knowledge.

Here are some answers to common soy questions I get:
• BRCA Breast Cancer Genes & Soy (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/brca-breast-cancer-genes-and-soy/)
