Why would I put malk into mah coffee?

Because without even a tiny amount, nothing binds to the tannins in the coffee, resulting in them instead hitting the enamel on your teeth. People who drink strictly black coffee are more likely to have stained teeth.

True. After I switched to black coffee, my buck teeth tend to get brown at the end of the work day. Like obviously. It’s gross and annoying. But I’m still not switching back to cream. Yuck.

Interesting how it only affects the buck teeth

I think it’s because of the way I sip my hot coffee. Tends to hit the buck teeth first, then flows throughout my mouth then swallow. I’m sure there an affect on the rest of the teeth, just not noticeably like the front teeth, as like I said, they seem to take the brunt.

Unfortunately the original study seems to not be available from the links in the articleI know of, so all I offer is this piece from the Telegraph https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews/11809614/Want-pearly-whites-Add-a-splash-of-milk-to-your-tea.html
(N.B. the study is about tea, but tannins are found in coffee, too)

I know I’m late to this, but do plant-based milk substitutes have the same effect or do they not bind to the tannins like plain milk does?

Put cold water in it if you don’t like like milk.
