A sparkling green tea
drink developed jointly by Coca-Cola and Nestlé claims to help
consumers burn off calories, catapulting both companies further into
the growing health and wellness market.


Consumers in the US will be the first to taste the tea,
named Enviga, in January next year. Studies have shown that drinking
three cans of Enviga everyday could burn an extra 60-100 calories in
thin to normal weight people, the firms announced.

The launch shows Coca-Cola and Nestlé working hard to grab more of the increasingly lucrative functional beverages category.

The companies developed Enviga through their joint venture firm, Beverage Partners Worldwide.

Best order a magnum then!

[smurfboy]

I will be drinking this non-stop.

[kevvosa]

I bet it costs a bomb. 

[kevvosa]

This doesn't make sense: "Enviga everyday could burn an extra 60-100 calories in
thin to normal weight people"

I would have thought it'd be aimed at larger people!

[Cherry_Ripe]

I imagine anorexics will drink it.

There's an old drink that burns calories - water.

[smurfboy]

How does water burn calories?

[kevvosa]

This one will be good.

Tell us Bounty then, how water BURNS calories?

[goldencup]

It all depends how far you have to carry it...

There's nothing mysterious about this.  Drinking plenty of water increases the metabolic rate and reduces calories.  Don't take my word for it ask your doctor.

[kevvosa]

How many calories does a glass of water 'reduce' then? 

It depends on what other activities you are doing/what you are eating etc.  The size of the glass matters too.  Two people on the same diet, one drinking water and one not, the water drinker will burn more calories.

the water drinker will burn more calories.

and pee a lot more.

Indeed. Water has the effect of purifying the syste and is very good for the kidneys.  It also makes you think more clearly as the little electrical impulses in the brain, which carry information use water as a medium.
