真假？抹茶能減肥？

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

當你開始谷歌“減肥”時，你就面臨著從謊話中辨認真相的挑戰(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.

沒有研究測試過抹茶的減肥效果。人們使用綠茶制劑進行了6次為期12周的減肥研究?；仡櫫诉@六次研究的結(jié)果后發(fā)現(xiàn)，各國的情況有所不同。除了日本，在其他國家進行的研究中，飲用綠茶的人并沒有比對照組減掉更多體重。

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.

在日本進行的八項研究中，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!目前還沒有研究測試抹茶是否能促進減肥。
