Green tea and obesity

A study done at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia showed that not only did the catechins in green tea cause cancer cells to die but fats cells as well. The study, published in a journal called Obesity Reasearch, came to the conclusion that the catechins in Green Tea can and do act on mature fat cells; called adipocytes, the same way they do on cancer cells: they cause them to self destruct.

The conclusion that the reaserachers came to is that green tea could be an important part of the the treatment of obesity. Of course, this is a treatment you can do yourself at home.

Now, we see that, according to the researchers, it is the catechins that are responsible for green teas fat fighting effect. Catechins are a type of polyphenol antioxidant that are found in higher concentrations in the high quality loose leaf green teas like the kind I sell here at The Tea Temple. So, whether or not you are interested in letting green tea help you burn off unwanted fat (it also helps with a ton of other conditions), you should take the time tyo look wround and pick out a couple of the great green, oolong or bloack teas that I have available at the best prices on the Internet.
