I highly recommend drinking green tea. The green tea polyphenol, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), in combination with caffeine (50 milligrams caffeine, 90 milligrams EGCG) has been shown to enhance 24-hour energy expenditure in human test subjects. In this same clinical study, treatment with caffeine alone had no effect on energy expenditure, indicating the effect of green tea in promoting fat burning goes beyond that explained solely by its caffeine content. Other scientific data indicate that green tea polyphenols in combination with caffeine synergistically enhance thermogenesis (fat burning).

antioxidant, green tea, lung cancer, smoking
Drinking green tea may help protect smokers from lung cancer, a study has shown.
Scientists found smokers who drank at least one cup of the antioxidant-rich beverage a day were almost 13 times less likely to develop the disease than those who drank no green tea.
Among smokers and non-smokers combined, drinking green tea led to a more than five-fold reduced risk of lung cancer.
The study was conducted in Taiwan, where people drink a lot of green tea.
