This is very interesting. Perhaps this is why I don't get jittery when I drink grean tea compared to coffee even though green tea has plenty of caffeine.
I also don't understand, maybe it's the hype, but
why is green tea found in almost every brand of weight loss pills these days? Is it really that good or did someone like Oprah happened to mention it once and then it took off?
