1. I am sharing my thoughts here because this stuff is good; it deals with: A TRULY natural way to lose
weight and also with one of the most difficult problems of out time: overweight, obesity and their nasty
consequences.
Obesity and and overweight problems in many parts of the world, but specially here in the USA,
negatively affects the health of millions of people. I am a researcher by nature, and am fascinated with
anything that is produced by nature. At least three times a year I correspond with scientists on the
subject of health and I do get answers from them.
A few weeks ago someone sought my opinion on the green coffee fat burn been extract as an option for
weight loss. I replied: "first we need to find out if it is truly helpful, second need to find scientific
evidence for its claim, and third, we need to make sure that it does work and is not just a passing fad.
Because I am very much interested in anything related to health, I did my own search and found a lot of
good info about this coffee been extract, but because of space and time limitations I can only mention
this:
1) Scientists Joe A Vinson (University of Scranton, PA) Bryan R Burnham (Psy Dept, Univesity of
Scranton, PA) and Mysore V Nagendran (Health Science Clinic, Bangalore India) did a well performed
scientific study and they concluded that "One promising nutraceutical is green coffee extract, which
contains high concentrations of chlorogenic acids that are known to have health benefits and to
influence glucose and fat metabolism".
They did, for a 22 week, a crossover study to scrutinize the efficacy and safety of green coffee extract
product GCA(tm) at reducing weight and body mass in 16 overweight adults.
2) RESULTS: "Significant reductions were observed in body weight (-8.04 ± 2.31 kg), body mass
index (-2.92 ± 0.85 kg/m(2)), and percent body fat (-4.44% ± 2.00%), as well as a small decrease in
heart rate (-2.56 ± 2.85 beats per minute), but with no significant changes to diet over the course of the
study. Importantly, the decreases occurred when subjects were taking GCA. Body mass index for six
subjects shifted from pre-obesity to the normal weight range (<25.00 kg/m(2)).
3) They also concluded that their findings are "consistent with human and animal studies and a meta-
analysis of the efficacy of green coffee extract in weight loss."
4) Final conclusion: This may be an effective nutraceutical in reducing weight in pre-obese adults, and
may be an inexpensive means of preventing obesity in overweight adults.
5) I read several other studies (quite long studies) so you do not have to spend hours trying to
understand all that scientific terminology. My conclusions? Go for your coffee bean; if you follow the
instructions correctly, you have nothing to fear and everything to gain. Go for it and have fun.
