Weight just a minute! Is drinking tea the secret to a trimmer waistline? For men, yes, but for women, not so much. Men who drank more than two cups of tea a day had slimmer waistlines than those who drank coffee or nothing at all, according to a study of nearly 4,000 adults. Researchers from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, found that for men, the use of sugar in tea was associated with a nearly one inch smaller waist measurement, but the use of artificial sweeteners was linked to a nearly two inch larger waistline.

Another study from Queensland University in Australia found drinking just three cups of green tea a day can prevent weight gain even if you continue to eat junk food. Scientists fed laboratory rats a diet high in sugary treats. As might be expected, the rodents began to gain weight rapidly. Their blood pressure soared. But after green tea was added to the regimen, the extra fat melted away and their blood pressure returned to normal even though they continued to gorge on high sugar foods.
