Milk has a protein called casein that grabs onto healthy plant chemicals in coffee and tea, making them harder for your body to use. It also sticks to sugar chains and minerals in food, changing how dairy feels and works.

When casein (a protein in milk) meets polyphenols (natural compounds in tea, wine, or fruit), they stick together in different ways—like magnets and glue—and this changes the protein’s shape and how it works.
When milk proteins (casein) mix with certain plant-based fibers (polysaccharides), they can either stick together or push apart based on conditions like acidity and salt levels, changing how the final dairy product feels and looks.
Casein, a protein in milk, sticks to certain plant compounds and minerals differently depending on things like how acidic the environment is, how hot it is, or how salty the solution is — and also depends on the shape and size of the stuff it’s sticking to.
Milk has a protein called casein that grabs onto calcium like a magnet, helping it form tiny clumps that stay suspended in milk instead of sinking or separating.
Casein, a protein in milk, seems to grab onto certain metal bits like silver and zinc more than others because its building blocks have spots that naturally stick to those metals.
