Tea consumption aids in weight loss
Multiple clinical trials, cross-sectional surveys, and systematic reviews with meta-analyses indicate that tea consumption and green tea extracts can aid in weight loss and improve body composition parameters such as fat mass and BMI.
The retrieved literature contains strong evidence from both observational studies and recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses showing that habitual tea consumption and green tea extract supplementation are associated with reductions in body fat, body mass index, and overall body weight. There are no papers in the retrieved set that refute the claim.
