This is the article I found on the weight loss benefits of green and Oolong Tea’s, hope it answers your question…
Antioxidant in Green Tea Benefits Weight Loss
Green Tea Weight Loss,Green tea epigallacatechin gallate ( The compound known as EGCG ), a key element in polyphenol antioxidant contained in green tea, benefits weight loss by helping the body burn fat. A study in Switzerland found drinking the equivalent of 2-3 cups of green tea daily caused the participants to burn 80 extra calories each day, without increasing their heart rates and factoring out the tea’s caffeine content.
Other More Key Benefits of Green Tea Besides Weight Loss
Polyphenols are a group of naturally occurring plant chemicals with very high antioxidant potential. Antioxidants are substances that protect the body from free radicals, which are special molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage your body from a cellular level.
Free radicals hurt the body by making you more vulnerable to degenerative diseases like cancer and heart disease.
Antioxidants help by deactivating the free radicals and minimizing the amount of damage they have done or will do.
The many health benefits of green tea, all of which have been demonstrated in scientific studies,include
Cancer protection.
Cholesterol reduction.
Blood pressure reduction.
Antibacterial and antiviral activity .
Protection against radiation.
Reduction of body fat.
Reduction of blood sugar .
Polyphenols, High Richest in Green Tea Beverage.
The basic difference between green tea and black tea (the more commonly seen variety) is in the fermentation. Green tea leaves are preserved by various techniques such as steaming and baking right after being picked; whereas black tea leaves are exposed to the air for a length of time and then processed. This method gives green tea its unique color and also helps retain one vital resource – the polyphenol.
