11 Common Food Combinations That Are Really Bad For Your Health

Tea & Yeast Bread

Tea and biscuits of some sort have been a tradition for hundreds, if not thousands of years! So what’s the problem with this particular combination? Well, if you’ve ever had a tasty pastry with your afternoon cup of tea, you may have noticed that later in the day, your stomach gets upset. This has to do with the tannins found in tea having a reaction to the iron and vitamin B1 found in most yeast bread. It can actually cause fermentation in your stomach, which explains your tummy troubles! Wait at least an hour between drinking tea and eating bread.
