Tea Rich Catechins Leads to Reduction in Body Fat
A 12 week double-blind study was performed in which the subjects ingested varying levels of catechin-rich teas.
It concluded that daily consumption of tea containing 690 mg catechins for 12 weeks reduced body fat, which suggests that the intake of catechins might be useful in the prevention and improvement of lifestyle-related diseases, mainly obesity. More research in this area would be helpful in confirming these findings. For more information go to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Volume 81, 2005.
