Does soy milk destroy antioxidants in tea?

I recently learned that milk destroys antioxidants when you put it in tea! I really like putting milk in my tea, but I put soy milk in. Does this still negatively affect tea’s health benefits?
Ack! I just realized my wording is terreble. I mean I use soy milk INSTEAD of regular milk. Not regular milk AND soy milk.
Soy milk lacks the casein that milk bears, therefore it cannot destroy the antioxidants in tea. However, a cup of it can vaporize a small child from up to 60 metres away.
What food/drink contains the most antioxidants and boosts your immune system?

I’ve been tested for an autoimmune disease and am awaiting results, but regardless, I’d like to start eating and drinking better.
I, too, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease 2 years ago. After much research on nutrition, I discovered the amazing natural attributes of Matcha Green Tea Powder. Matcha contains natural catechins which boost one’s immune system. As a matter of fact, Matcha Green Tea Powder is 70 times richer in antioxidants than oranges and a staggering 100 times more powerful than vitamin C!!!
Additionally, this tea has been shown to aid in cancer prevention, lower blood pressure/cholesterol, regulate blood sugar, reduce stress and PMS, cleanse toxins from the body, regulate hormones, increase metabolism and weight loss and provide numerous other health benefits.

Are antioxidants good while undergoing cancer treatment, or bad?

I understand the good that antioxidants can do, but in protecting cells, do they also protect the cancer cells themselves from destruction by chemotherapy/radiation? Are things like green tea extracts, mushroom extracts, etc. good or bad during standard cancer therapy?
I’ve read things on both sides, showing both points of view.
There is no such thing as standard chemotherapy. There are hundreds of chemo drugs and they are often used in various combinations. You cannot expect all the things that contain antioxidants to either be good or bad with hundreds of different drugs. This is why you should not take anything without talking to your oncologist first.

We see bottles of refreshments, foods, cooking oils that mention antioxidants. What are they? What do they do for us, I know they help keep us healthy. But in what way?
Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. The antioxidants fight these.

I need to know which foods are high in antioxidants because i have acne, its not severe or anything but its a couple on my forehead and i’m so tired of them they are really bringing my confidence down.
I heard if you eat foods that are high in antioxidants then they will also purify your skin and such. Is this true and any other tips for acne?
Pretty sure that if you go by the intensity of the color you will be safe.
The more intense the color the higher in antioxidants the food is.
Blueberries are high.
Red/ black grapes would be higher than green grapes.
I am sure people will list all sorts of foods but easier than keeping a list with you use your eyes to make your choices.
