New research from Penn State University suggests green tea can help slow down weight gain by limiting how much fat is absorbed by the body.
Scientists gave obese mice a compound found in green tea and found the obese mice gained weight 45 per cent more slowly than the other mice.
A person would need to drink 10 cups of green tea a day to match the amount of the compound used on mice in the study.
However, the researchers add other recent studies show that just a few cups a day may help control weight.
