Evidence for Assertion

Why relevant:
Why true:The study found that yerba mate 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 yerba mate consumption, demonstrating a causal relationship between yerba mate consumption and increased fat oxidation.
ELI5
  • The study tested the effect of yerba mate on fat oxidation during exercise by measuring changes in body composition and exercise performance.
  • The results showed a significant increase in fat oxidation with yerba mate consumption.
  • This means that yerba mate can help increase fat oxidation during exercise by reducing oxidative stress and improving exercise performance.

Why true:
How it is true:
ELI5
  • The study tested the claim by having participants exercise after consuming yerba mate.
  • They measured fat oxidation levels during high-intensity exercise.
  • The results showed that there was no significant increase in fat oxidation compared to those who did not take yerba mate.
  • This means the claim that yerba mate increases fat oxidation during high-intensity exercise does not hold.
