Re: Green Tea
iconoclast, can you post the study?
Drink iced green tea instead (the chinese iced tea you get at chinese resteraunts), if you're paranoid about hot fluids.
Naughty - yeah my mom has been drinking it for 1 year or 2 - she says she lost 6 lbs. She weighs less than I do now, and she has done absolutely no exercise. But that drop may not necessarily be due to the tea. She also had abnormal levels of liver enzymes, but after having green tea, they're normal. The doctor was saying she might have gall bladder stones. She wanted to avoid surgery so she drank green tea - reading somewhere that it helps break down the stones. I don't know if that's what really happened in her body, but she's a staunch believer of the tea.

^ I was watching Opera, and the Perricone Promise guy said that if you replace coffee with green tea, you can lose 10 lbs in 6 weeks. I thought that was interesting.

Re: Green Tea
