Can Tea Aid Weight Loss?

Coca-Cola and Nestle seem to think so in a joint collaboration between the two giants, they say that their new products will help you lose weight. If you consume three cans per day of this said beverage, they say that you will burn between a 60 and 100 calories.

The key ingredient of this new drink is green tea which also claims to be an aid in weight loss. Studies were done at Nestlé's research centre in Switzerland, where the following was noted that during the course of a day if you consume this drink, calorie burning was found to be in effect. If that isn't enough to satisfy you John Hackett of Coca-Cola says this.

"Enviga is a great tasting beverage that invigorates your metabolism to gently burn calories, and it's a positive step people can take as part of a balanced lifestyle -- like taking the stairs." So we can stop taking even that modest amount of exercise"

As regards the amount of people who were actually involved in the research is debatable some sources have said lower than 35 people were involved in the study. So would this be worthwhile in the long run, if you think about it probably not burning that amount calories, would be quite easy to lose by just doing some moderate exercise. Or failing that just eat a hundred calories less in your diet and do it that way.
