Long-Term Supplementation of Green Tea Extract Does Not Modify Adiposity or Bone Mineral Density in a Randomized Trial of Overweight and Obese Postmenopausal Women
Abstract
Background: Green tea extract (GTE) consumption has been linked to favorable changes in adiposity and bone mineral

Objective: We examined the impact of decaffeinated GTE on body composition (using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)
