Hi,

I've been drinking a lot of oolong tea lately, mainly from Taiwan. Noted
some benefits related to weight loss and drinking oolong tea on this site:
http://www.oolongtea.org/e/health/04.html

"Polyphenol in oolong tea is effective in controlling obesity. Specifically
speaking, it activates the enzyme that is responsible for dissolving
triglyceride. It has been confirmed that the continuous intake of oolong tea
contributes to enhancing the function of fat metabolism and to controlling
obesity."

Does anyone have more information on whether lightly oxidized or heavily
oxidized oolongs are better for weight loss? Or does it not matter?

Thanks.

Winston

lightly oxidized tea gives you just about the same advantages for the
health as green tea does.
but don't expect a miracle.
drinking tea is good for you as long as you don't eat junkfood or too
much, exercice a little (min=4Km/day walk)... well you know the story...
a good way of life...

I think one should drink tea for the taste of it, rather than for the
health benefits... but they are welcome of course...
