White Tea: Solution To Obesity Epidemic?

White Tea: Solution To Obesity Epidemic?:
"Possible anti-obesity effects of white tea have been demonstrated in a series of experiments on human fat cells (adipocytes). Researchers have now shown that an extract of the herbal brew effectively inhibits the generation of new adipocytes and stimulates fat mobilization from mature fat cells.

Marc Winnefeld led a team of researchers from Beiersdorf AG, Germany, who studied the biological effects of an extract of white tea – the least processed version of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. He said, "....We've shown that white tea may be an ideal natural source of slimming substances"."
Thanks to StashTea for pointing this one out!
