High CGA Instant Coffee for High Potency Fat Loss: Visceral and Total Fat Loss Increase 6-9-fold 😮, But...

Written by | published on

Truth is in the numbers... the absolute  numbers, not the impressive relative visceral fat loss that doesn't show on either scale, measuring tape, or mirror... and yes, that means that Kao's high-octane CGA enhanced coffee is not going to make you lean out effortless- and visibly in 12 weeks in the absence of making the necessary but (by way too many) dreaded dietary / lifestyle changes. "No", it's not #inMice, but "yes", it's sponsored research by the Kao Corporation about whose "High Octane Coffee" I've written last year , already. In their latest paper the Japanese authors of the paper ( Watanabe 2019 ) investigated the effects of daily consumption of coffee enriched in chlorogenic acids (CGA) on abdominal fat area in a 12-wk randomized, double-blind, parallel controlled trial w/ healthy, overweight men and women (n = 150, body mass index (BMI) ≥25 to <30 kg/m²) who were randomly allocated to high-CGA (369 mg CGA/serving) or c...

Scientists Test Effects of 'Fat Burning High Octane'-Coffee With High CGA & Reduced Hydroxyhydroquinone Content

Needless to say: The fat burning effect is not one that relates to body fat... and that a dose-escalation (4 instead of 1 cups would bring about such an effect is relatively unlikely, too). It has been some week since I have written the last coffee article. Today, the coffee-free time ends, though. Scientists from the  Kao Corporation  in Japan have recently developed what I labeled a "high octane" coffee... and no, that's not a brand/blend that's particularly high in caffeine. That wouldn't be #SuppVersity news-worthy. What is it then, if it's not coffee that bumps up the postprandial fat oxidation? At face value, the answer seems to be straightforward; it's an old acquaintance and - at least for supplement junkies - probably the #2 on the list of "I know that stuff"-ingredients in coffee: chlorogenic acid  - I've discussed its effects and how to maximize its content in coffee in all detail in my coffee buying, roasting, brewing 101 ...

Coffee - Different Roasts, Different Health Effects | Darker Roasts Better for Weight Loss, Lighter Roasts Healthier!?

Written by | published on

Dark, medium or light roast - this is more than just a question of taste! The significant effect of roasting on the phenol-composition of coffee and the consequent health effects are rarely discussed. You may remember my often misinterpreted article about bullet-proof coffee in which I actually defended the fad by providing evidence that the negative effects on blood lipids may actually be cause by not filtering the coffee vs. putting butter into it ( read it ). Well, today I would like to dig a bit deeper into the differential effects not of coffee brewing, but rather of coffee roasting on the of your favorite beverage's major active ingredients and its subsequent effects on your health. Now, to get the bad news out of the way, the study from the  West-German Centre of Diabetes and Health  in Düsseldorf which evaluated these effects unfortunately did so in 118 overweight subjects. You can learn more about coffee at the SuppVersity Remember: With Coffee More Won...
