Have you ever gotten into an argument over someone that swears by those traditional remedies passed down from generation to generation and is bent on convincing you that it works? I once got into a somewhat heated exchange with a friend about the purported benefits of drinking herbal teas to boost weight loss.
The tea in question was Oolong, which has supposedly been consumed for hundreds of years in certain Asian cultures, and is purported as being an effective health aid. Well, my friend -- let's call him Jimmy -- insisted that he was able to lose about nine pounds in three weeks just by drinking this "miracle" tea.
The specific brand of Oolong tea he was drinking is WuYi Tea. Well, what Jimmy didn't tell me was how nasty the tea tastes -- it's bitter, to say the least -- and that he was also watching his caloric intake and also jogging every morning. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that maybe it's not just the tea that was promoting the weight loss: You also need a well-balanced regimen of a healthy diet and exercise, too.
