Find out why Oprah is switching to Green Tea


Green tea skyrocketed in popularity after Oprah Winfrey had Dr. Nicholas Perricone (of The Perricone Prescription) on her show discussing the benefits of replacing coffee with green tea.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show and told Oprah's viewers they can lose 10 lbs in 6 weeks drinking green tea instead of coffee. Here's the conversation:

"Oprah: Now I've read in your book that you said if I just replaced coffee with green tea instead, that I could lose 10 lbs in 6 weeks! 


Dr. Perricone: Absolutely! Coffee has organic acids that raise your blood sugar, raise insulin. Insulin puts a lock on body fat. When you switch over to green tea, you get your caffeine, you're all set, but you will drop your insulin levels and body fat will fall very rapidly. So 10 pounds in six weeks, I will guarantee it! 


Oprah: I'm gonna do that. OK. That is so good! Whoo! That is great.”
