Don’t Believe Everything You Read

So just a few minutes ago, I was reading a blog I sort of stumbled upon about the benefits of drinking tea. I was already aware of the numerous health benefits different teas offer, but I wanted to see if I could learn anything more. I saw a link that said, “Why should I drink green tea over coffee!”

The brief post made only one point. Something to the effect of, “your body does not know how to digest the acid in coffee and it is cosequently stored in your midsection as bellyfat.” HUH?

Ok, the point of the article is true: yes, green tea is better for weight loss than coffee, but the reason she offers is completely baseless and unproven. The statement that your body stores unkown acids as bodyfat, specifically MIDSECTION bodyfat is not only untrue, but the author offers no reasoning behind it.

Just goes to show, make sure you consult multiple sources AND credible sources when scouring the internet for information.
