A skinny latte? I’ll have a tea
Drinkers of trendy kombucha are onto something. It appears that kombucha tea mimics the effects of fasting so people can shed fat without having to change their diet, a new study claims.
Boffins have discovered the microbes in the fermented drink make changes to fat metabolism in the intestines that are similar to the effects of going without food.
A spokesman for the University of North Carolina which conducted the research said: “we were surprised to find that animals consuming a diet consisting of the probiotic microbes found in kombucha cha tea displayed reduced fat accumulation.
