Female mice given Pu-erh black tea extract or gallic acid for 12 weeks gained significantly less weight, and both inhibited pancreatic lipase. Based on the mouse results, the researchers suggest 5 to 10 grams of the extract a day for people, especially those eating a high-fat diet.

Wellgen chemist Shiming Li told an American Chemical Society meeting that six brands of bottled tea held 81, 43, 40, 13, 4 and 3 milligrams of polyphenols per 16-ounce bottle, against 50 to 150 milligrams in a cup of home-brewed tea. He says many also carry high amounts of sugar.
