Green tea... Truth or fiction?

PureSnowChic25 Posts: 13 Joined: 2007/03/01	2007/04/12, 08:26 PM I have been reading a lot of info on tea and green tea for losing weight. Does it speed up the metabolism, or act as an appetite suppressant, or is it all a marketing scam? Anyone have any experiences or ideas?

It is a nice alternative if looking to get a diff drink in there without all the sugars and such but it effectively really does nothing

This is more a marketing scheme. But drink it for the health qualities. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
