Coffee versus Tea Weight Loss Benefits

I found this quote from Dr. Perricone about the benefits of tea on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

The Oprah Winfrey Show

“Oprah : Now I've read in your book that you said if I just replaced coffee with green tea instead, that I could lose 10 pounds in six weeks.

Dr. Perricone : Absolutely.

Oprah : Now really. How could that -- what is the big deal about this?

Dr Perricone : Coffee has organic acids that raise your blood sugar, raise insulin. Insulin puts a lock on body fat. When you switch over to green tea, you get your caffeine, you're all set, but you will drop your insulin levels and body fat will fall very rapidly. So 10 pounds in six weeks, I will guarantee it.

Oprah : I'm gonna do that. OK. That is so good! Whoo! That is great.”

Dr. Perricone says that switching from coffee to green tea will assist your weight loss diet goals A study posted by The American Journal of Clinical Study ( http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/70/6/1040 )

that says: “ Conclusions : Green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation beyond that explained by its caffeine content per se. The green tea extract may play a role in the control of body composition via sympathetic activation of thermogenesis, fat oxidation, or both.”

Next consider Wuyi/Wu yi Wulong Tea Burns 2.5 Times MORE Calories Than Authentic Green Tea: In a new study published in the Journal of Medical Investigation, scientists from Japan's University of Tokushima School of Medicine found that people who regularly consumed this tea experienced over TWICE the calorie-burning results of those who drank the same amount of authentic Japanese green tea.

Even Consumer Reports chimes in and concludes: "Habitual tea drinkers' reduced cancer risk might stem from tea's high antioxidant capacity. Tea might protect the heart by relaxing blood vessels, inhibiting clots, and reducing cholesterol levels. And researchers speculate that the fluoride and estrogen-like substances in tea may bolster bone density."
