You already know about the powerful disease-fighting antioxidants found in green, black and white tea. Now a study from Germany, published in Nutrition and Metabolism, has revealed that, compared with other types of tea, white tea helps prevent new fat cells from forming, and also breaks down the fat content in those already present.
Lead researcher Dr Marc Winnefeld commented that the white tea appeared to reduce activity in those genes that are responsible for the growth of new fat cells. Another explanation is that white tea contains more caffeine and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which both stimulate metabolism.
