Well, it has the added benefit of caffeine being an appetite suppressant, which is why it's in so many diet pills. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ =========== No, actually, the herb in green tea is a strong antioxidant and green tea also supposedly helps increase thermogensis -- the body's ability to burn fat. This is the result of one scientific study done recently. Or maybe more than one study. The caffeine is supposed to be too limited, too little, to do much by itself. Green tea is the latest new "in" thing for dieting. There are even pills of green tea extract. I am still researching it, trying to find the scientific study that started all this. I found one mention, still looking... HTH, Doe aka Marnie :-)
