Re: Green tea vs regular tea?
I love Green Tea!
I just love the taste.
Here's info on benefits Green Tea and Weight Loss Numerous studies have shown evidence of green tea weight loss benefits.
One recent double-blind study analyzed 3 groups- one with green tea, one with a placebo, and one with just caffeine. The green tea group showed a small but statistically significant 4 percent increase in energy expenditure, compared with no change for those taking either a placebo or caffeine alone.
Scientists controlling the study discovered that green tea catechins may alter the body's use of norepinephrine, a chemical transmitter in the nervous system, to increase the rate of calorie burning.
If you drink green tea you can-
Lower cholesterol
Increase Thermogenesis (the body's rate of burning calories)
Enhance fat oxidation

Re: Green tea vs regular tea?
Best place to get green tea is a real tea shop... TSalon in NYC is amazing... they sell the leaves... use an infuser and you're good to go.

Tazo makes a really good iced green tea. The only places I have seen it are at Starbucks or the health food store. It's really good.
