Our approach

Tea may support a healthy routine, especially when unsweetened tea replaces soda, sweetened coffee, or other high-calorie drinks. However, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health explains that green tea has not been shown to be effective for weight loss.

Caffeinated tea can contribute to your total daily caffeine intake. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration explains how much caffeine is generally considered safe for most adults.

Be careful with products marketed as slimming, detox, or fat-burning teas. Some contain laxatives, large amounts of caffeine, stimulants, or concentrated extracts. The FDA advises consumers to avoid pure and highly concentrated caffeine products.
