Green Tea Lipids + Statins, PWO CHO + Glycogen, Visceral Fat, Heart Health + Anthrax - Research Update July '17

Written by | published on

Matcha releases more antioxidants than tea leaves (Fujioka. 2016). Only recently, you've read the "Caffeine June 2017 Research Update" [ (re-)read it ] here at the SuppVersity . Some of the effects of green tea have thus already been discussed. After all, caffeine is one of the health-relevant ingredients of tea; it is, however, not the most important one. As Yuan Fen et al. explain in their latest meta-analysis of the effects of green tea on blood lipids, tea can be classified as green tea, oolong tea or black tea depending on the manufacturing process" (Fen 2017). What exactly it is that mediates the various health benefits of tea (inflammation, hypertension/heart disease, and cancer | Serafini 2011) and their potency may thus differ slightly from tea to tea.

May I Salt & Roast My Nuts? Plus: If Catechins Boost One's Energy Expenditure by 400% Why Don't They Work for Me?

One article, two questions, two science-based answers. If you're like me I bet that you've been asking yourself previously, whether the cheap roasted nuts at the supermarket have the same health benefits as the expensive "raw" nuts from the health-food store... guess what: a recent study by scientists from the Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences  and the University of Otago  confirms: "Dry roasting and lightly salting nuts do[es] not appear to negate the cardioprotective effects observed with raw nut consumption, and both forms of nuts are resistant to [dietary] monotony" and thus similarly recommendable health-foods. Along with the latest "green tea for thermogenesis"-study, which finally answers the important question "If Catechins Boost One's Energy Expenditure by 400% Why Don't They Work for Me?", the Chinese-New-Zealand co-production is one of the two studies in today's SuppVersity article.

26% Body Fat, Zero Lean Mass Loss W/ HIIT + 3x500mg Green Tea Supp in 10Wks | Is EGCG Liver-Toxic?

Written by | published on

Lean, not skinny: In the long run HIIT + GTE could take you there, but there's one caveat... at least w/ the green tea. The social networks are full of women complaining that they are not losing fat. If you ask them what they have tried to ignite body fat loss, the answer usually is: reduced energy, fat/carb intakes and, if any sport at all, endless cardio sessions... now, while studies show that this approach to fat loss works, it's (a) mostly the caloric deficit that determines the loss of body weight and (b) is often accompanied by significant lean mass losses. An attractive alternative would be (i) not having to diet, (ii) not having to do endless cardio sessions and (iii) having a fat loss supplement that actually works.

Sick of Being Sick? 30 High Flavonoid Foods to Reduce the Incidence, Length & Severity of Infections by 40% (Avg.)

Written by | published on

If "that's you" and "that's you" more than four times a year, you better read today's SuppVersity article and learn which Flavenoids may reduce your number of upper respiratory tract infections into the normal range of 2-4 per year. The number of purported anti-URTI (=anti U pper R espiratory T ract I nfection) agents is unquestionable higher than the average number of yearly upper respiratory infections of the average US citizen, which is 2-4. Which of these usually natural agents actually have the ability to protect you from at least one of the previously cited 2-4 infections, however, is far from being obvious. The scientific evidence is ambiguous and confusing and therefore I am happy that researchers from the  University of Auckland  and colleagues from the College of Sport and Exercise Science at the Victoria University  have recently conducted a large-scale meta-analysis of no less than 387 studies - ok, that's the number they began with...
