Will Adding Sugar To Green Tea Cancel Out Any Antioxidant Properties?!
Question: No, it won't. See the attached link. Though the author refers to a link that is now outdated, he reiterates his findings that adding sugar, milk, lemon or honey do not interfere with antioxidant absorption. From a dieting/caloric intake standpoint, you might consider stevia or xylitol instead of sugar. I prefer xylitol as it not as overly concentrated as stevia and doesn't have an aftertaste.
