Does milk really stop the effects of green tea?

I keep hearing that milk negates the effects of green tea (the antioxidant properties), but do you have any links of studies that prove this? Or is this just one study?

I would really like to know more because I really enjoy milk with green tea

I read the same thing in some article...but honestly the effects of all teas are so minor, I wouldn't be surprised if its all psychological/placebo effect

I found this:

Though old, the studies are legit and in controlled areas.

It seems that it does not affect it at all.

I realize this is an old thread but I think the conclusion reached isn't quite right....

solution: have your casein/milk protein at a different time than your tea...
