真假？抹茶能減肥？

When you google "weight loss" the challenge to sort fact from fiction begins.

當(dāng)你開始谷歌“減肥”時(shí)，你就面臨著從謊話中辨認(rèn)真相的挑戰(zhàn)。

Matcha green tea powder claims to speed up weight loss, but let's see what the evidence says.

據(jù)說，綠茶抹茶粉可以促進(jìn)減肥，不過還是讓我們看看其根據(jù)。

Matcha is a green tea made from leaves of the Camellia sinensis, or tea plant, but it's processed into a green powder and can be mixed into liquids or food.

抹茶是用茶樹葉子制成的一種綠茶，但它被加工成了一種綠色粉末，可以加入液體或食物中。

Before the leaves are harvested, the tea plant is put in the shade for a few weeks, which increases the content of theanine and caffeine.

在收割茶葉之前，茶樹要在陰涼處放置幾周以增加茶氨酸和咖啡因的含量。

No studies have tested the effect of matcha on weight loss. A review of six studies using green tea preparations for weight loss over 12 weeks found a difference based on country. In studies conducted outside of Japan, people consuming green tea did not lose more weight than controls.

沒有研究測(cè)試過抹茶的減肥效果。人們使用綠茶制劑進(jìn)行了6次為期12周的減肥研究。回顧了這六次研究的結(jié)果后發(fā)現(xiàn)，各國(guó)的情況有所不同。除了日本，在其他國(guó)家進(jìn)行的研究中，飲用綠茶的人并沒有比對(duì)照組減掉更多體重。

In the eight studies conducted within Japan, the mean weight loss ranged from 200 grams to 3.5 kilos in favour of green tea preparations.

在日本進(jìn)行的八項(xiàng)研究中，綠茶制劑的平均減肥效果從200克到3.5公斤不等。

Verdict: Fiction! There are currently no studies testing whether matcha tea accelerates weight loss.

結(jié)論：都是假的!目前還沒有研究測(cè)試抹茶是否能促進(jìn)減肥。
