Can anyone cite a study the shows health benefits of green tea?
August 10, 2010
Not really looking for opinions or anecdotes here. Just looking for randomized studies that show that drinking tea causes more <blank> or there is no differences detected in health between those who do drink tea and those who do not. Know of anything? Thanks.
Sure. Here’s a random smattering…
“Efficacy of a Green Tea Extract Rich in Catechin Polyphenols and Caffeine in Increasing 24-h Energy Expenditure and Fat Oxidation in Humans,” Dulloo AG, et al, Am J Clin Nutr, 1999;70:1040-1045.
“Green Tea Reverses Endothelial Dysfunction in Healthy Smokers,” Nagaya N, Yamamoto H, et al, Heart, 2004;90:1485-1486.
“Green tea extract ingestion, fat oxidation, and glucose tolerance in healthy humans,” Venables MC, Hulston CJ, et al, Am J Clin Nutr, 2008; 87(3): 778-84.
“Association between soy and green tea (Camellia sinensis) diminishes hypercholesterolemia and increases total plasma antioxidant potential in dyslipidemic subjects,” Bertipaglia de Santana M, Barbosa DS, et al, Nutrition, 2008; 24(6): 562-8.
“Randomized controlled trial for an effect of green tea-extract powder supplementation on glucose abnormalities,” Fukino Y, Ikeda A, et al, Eur J Clin Nutr, 2007 Jun 6
Good for starters?
