After these reports on the effect tea has on fats in the
bloodstream, Chinese claims that it actually helps reduce the amount
of fat in the tissues may seem less extravagant. Oolong tea seems to
get the most publicity here, although any tea can do some good.
Chinese material cites numerous cases of persons who lost weight
while regularly drinking two or three cups of oolong a day. Similar
claims for Pu-erh are corroborated by Japanese research. Oolong
mixed with other herbal ingredients is the basis for a number of
teas marketed especially for slimming. One is The Well Known Tea,
which contains oolong and 15 other ingredients. A Chinese ad for
Slimming Tea claims that drinking it for three months can drop up to
15 pounds off your weight.
