According to a recent study, a specific type of tea not only helps people lose weight, but it can also drastically assist in improving type 2 diabetes.
This same tea has been proven to help lower blood pressure, improve allover cardiovascular health and improve overall health.
Researchers from the Keimyung University School of Medicine conducted a study, which has been published in the Naunyn-Schmedeberg’s Archives of Pharmacology, to find out whether green tea was able to help people lose weight, as well as regulate the glucose levels of type 2 diabetes.
The results revealed specific ingredients within green tea called gallated catechins that work to inhibit the glucose uptake in the intestines.
The study itself began with the presumption that people could ingest enough of the gallated catechins to lower the blood glucose levels within the body from one cup of green tea, which could be consumed daily, but it turns out that this isn’t necessarily correct.
You see, as helpful as gallated catechins are in the gut, it increases insulin resistance when entering the bloodstream, which is very bad for diabetic or obese patients.
To conduct the study, the researchers fed both diabetic and healthy mice a high-fat diet and then supplemented this with extracts of green tea.
As a preventative measure for the potential harmful effect of gallated catechins, they bound the gallated catechins with polyethylene glycol, a non-toxic resin, so that the former wouldn’t leak into the blood stream.
The results of the study were quite clear: the mice that were fed high doses green tea extract with the polyethylene glycol addition not only lost weight, but also experienced a great reduction in glucose intolerance and insulin resistance.
The mice, however, who only received the extract but no polyethylene glycol reaped almost no benefits from the green tea.
As long as the green tea extract is combined with polyethylene glycol, drinking a couple of cups of green tea should provide enough gallated catechins to drastically inhabit glucose uptake in the gut and therefore improve both obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Another interesting result of the study was that the effects of drinking the tea (with polyethylene glycol) were the same as taking two types of medications that are being recommended to non-insulin dependent diabetics in order to control their condition.
This study is, of course, very limited. Many other studies have revealed numerous benefits from consuming green tea without combining it with polyethylene glycol. However, tea is a natural diuretic and drinking too much can cause you to become dehydrated, especially if you are replacing recommended water intake with tea. As well, too much caffeine can contribute to headaches.

So what is,”polyethylene glycol”? You didn’t say.
so are we able to buy green tea with polyethylene glycol? or is this fiction?
Gooday, I am diabetic and am somwhat worried about your story on Green Tea. Is it possible to buy Green Tea that has been binded with Polyethylene Glycol!!! And if not can one purchase this chemical/resin and bind the tea oneself!!!. Keep up the great work.
Paddy in Nigeria.
where would I find green tea extract with the polyethylene glycol?
Interesting.Thanks. Just the last 2 senttnces though – the 2nd last just refers to tea (not green tea) as being diuretic – is that true? And the last warns against caffeine – does geen tea contain caffeine?
Can polyethylene glycol be abtained locally- over the counter? If so how much should be added to a cup of green tea.
Thank youChristian for your precious helth reports you are sending me every day .I know about the green tea, how good it is, but also has cancerous flouoride and alumminiium that also causes Alzheimer’s the leaves from green tea ollecting all those bad things and we drinking them, also i had half of my thyroid rmoved because i had a nadule and was getting bigger and bigger,so, fluoride had immediate connection with t and alluminium,the are both cancerous, also i can’t eat anymore raisins,for the same reason they have fluoride. And still the put fluoride in toothpaste and in so many other things we use.I can eat only grapes insteed of raisins, thank you!
Improving diabetes is bad! Diabetes should not be helped. It is the enemy. Weakening diabetes is good. Combating diabetes is good Improving the health of a patient is good. Now. I think that all of you questioners know ethylene glycol. It is the active ingredient in typical engine anti-freeze! It is highly poisonous to canines. It is not as poisonous to mice. Polymers of ethylene glycol are an added ingredient in many foods. Many, many polymers can be made. Type-2 diabetes is reversible in almost 100% of people (by dietary and other life-style changes). This has been shown thousands of times during the past 40 years (Pritikin, McDougal, Joel Fuhrman, etc.).
So, is Polyethylene glycol the same as ethylene glycol, Dr. Carpenter, and can it be bought in combination with green tea? And, can it be taken in some form or other, along with the green tea, and how much or many would be the correct or a correct dose together with green tea, to benefit diabetes and/or weight loss? And, if this ethylene glycol is in antifreeze, what does it do to our innards? Do we want our innards anti-frozen, or preserved, or “killed?” gregarious “Georgia”, curious, not grumpy today (less pain today)
To my knowledge, all tea is a diuretic (to one degree or other- depending on how strong) and yes teas contain caffeine again depending on the strength of the tea.
Thank you for this very interesting article. Teas contain many antioxidants which are very good for us and our health.
