Lose 10 pounds drinking green tea

Lose 10 pounds drinking green tea

Beginning in the 1990s, various studies suggested that green tea might lower the risk of various cancers, reduce heart disease, slow aging, lower cholesterol, boost the immune system, improve diabetes and arthritis, help people lose weight, and produce cold fusion.

Under the Food and Drug Administration’s policy of permitting “qualified health claims” for which there is some evidence—often based on industry-funded research—marketers can make all sorts of improbable boasts (see under pomegranate juice).

Even when it rejects such assertions, as it has for green tea and all cancers as well as heart disease, the FDA seldom does anything to stop them.

Meanwhile, “studies” indicating a pattern of weight loss—and the fact that Japanese people do seem pretty darn thin—allow green tea to be sold as a psychic cancellation stamp on essences we love and know to be bad for us in excess, such as fat and sugar.

The new Koots Green Tea chain in Seattle, whose proprietor is actually Japanese, sells Matcha Chocolat, a hot-cocoa drink made with white-chocolate chips and organic whipped cream.

This follows on the success of Starbucks’ Tazo Green Tea Frappuccino, which also uses matcha, green tea in pulverized form.

This is exceeded by the 640 calories in the “power” version of the Matcha Green Tea Blast from Jamba Juice, a franchise chain chasing Howard Schultz’s caffeinated footsteps.

One feels these drinks cleansing the arteries and imprisoning free radicals with every sip.

Of course, you can grow fat consuming too many life-affirming antioxidants, which creates another business opportunity.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone, a cosmetologist and diet-book author, made a mint after he told Oprah she would lose 10 pounds in six weeks if she switched from coffee to green tea. (This might actually happen to some people, but from cutting out the cream and sugar, not the coffee.)

Coke and Nestlé are in the midst of introducing Enviga, a drink that purports to have negative calories thanks to green tea extracts known as EGCGs and caffeine.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest has filed a lawsuit challenging the claim that drinking three cans of Enviga a day burns up to 106 calories, and Richard Blumenthal, the tireless attorney general of Connecticut is, as usual, investigating.
