I like to drink some tea after a meal, but the doctor said to drink less after a meal. Why shouldn’t I drink tea after a meal?

    Tea contains a large amount of tannic acid. Drinking strong tea after a meal will combine the undigested protein that has just been eaten with tannic acid to form a precipitate that affects the absorption of protein.
