Evidence for Assertion

Why relevant:
Why true:The study found that green tea can increase fat oxidation during exercise, as measured by changes in body composition and exercise performance.
How it is true:The study conducted a randomized controlled trial and found a significant increase in fat oxidation with green tea consumption, demonstrating a causal relationship between green tea consumption and increased fat oxidation.
ELI5
  • The study tested the effect of green tea on fat oxidation during exercise by measuring changes in body composition and exercise performance.
  • The results showed a significant increase in fat oxidation with green tea consumption.
  • This means that green tea can help increase fat oxidation during exercise by reducing oxidative stress and improving exercise performance.

How it is true:
ELI5
  • The researchers included overweight men in their study.
  • The participants exercised while consuming either green tea extract or a placebo.
  • They measured fat oxidation rates during exercise.
  • The results showed no significant difference in fat oxidation between the two groups.
  • This means green tea extract does not aid in fat oxidation as claimed.
