This is why egg with tea is dangerous

Eggs are a versatile food that can be prepared in various ways, such as cooking, frying, or even consumed raw, depending on individual preferences. Scientifically, eggs are recognized for their nutritional value, providing essential vitamins that contribute to overall health.

However, it’s important to note that certain combinations of foods can have negative effects on the body. While eggs are a nutritious choice, there are some foods that should not be consumed together with eggs if one aims to maintain a long and healthy life. Here are some examples:

  1. Eggs With Tea: Consuming eggs along with tea may unknowingly have adverse effects on the body. When eggs are eaten for breakfast, it’s advisable to avoid drinking tea simultaneously. According to food and nutrition experts, the combination of eggs and tea can reduce the absorption of protein by as much as 17 percent. This is attributed to the binding of tea polyphenols to egg protein, inhibiting its absorption.
  2. Alcohol And Eggs: Eggs have been traditionally believed to alleviate hangover symptoms due to the presence of cysteine, an essential amino acid that aids in breaking down acetaldehyde—a toxin associated with alcohol metabolism and hangovers. However, it is not advisable to consume alcohol and eggs together, as it can result in stomach discomfort and potentially lead to other health issues.
  3. Banana And Egg: Combining eggs with vegetables, including starchy ones like potatoes, sweet potatoes, lentils, corn, and peas, is generally discouraged. The same applies to fruits high in carbohydrates, such as bananas, pineapples, mangoes, and dried fruits. Additionally, grains like bread, pasta, quinoa, couscous, farro, buckwheat, and barley should not be consumed alongside eggs. The mixture of eggs with these food categories can have adverse effects on digestion and overall well-being.

In summary, while eggs offer numerous health benefits, it’s essential to be mindful of their combinations with other foods to ensure optimal nutritional absorption and overall well-being.
