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
density (BMD), although it is unknown if these effects are due to green tea catechins or caffeine. The catechol-Omethyltransferase

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

with their proportion in the overall diet; studies are therefore needed that measure overall intakes of carbohydrate and sugar,
glycemic index (GI), and glycemic load.
Objective: We hypothesized that higher dietary GI and ...
