EGCG Green Tea Drink’s Calorie Burning Called Into Question
Coca-Cola, the omnipotent force to be dealt with in the soft drink industry, has come out with a newer green tea drink that is claiming it can help your body to burn calories faster, and can actually make it as if you didn’t even drink their drink, because it is so efficient at burning calories much faster.
Coke is saying that the infamous naturally derived chemical EGCG, which has given rise to the popularity of green tea as a dieting tea because it is known for it’s possible calorie burning and weight maintaining capabilities, is infused in their drink, called Enviga, and helps to burn the calories faster that are consumed because EGCG is combined with caffeine in this drink. They say that EGCG is an effective calorie burner when paired with caffeine.
But a consumer “Watchdog” group is calling these claims in to question, and asking Coca Cola for all of their backup data and research studies backing up the weightloss aid claims. Coke is calling the threat of suit a foul call basically, and refuting the claims of course. You know what I say? If someone thinks it’s burning calories, that’s good enough for me!
