It was a workhorse of Dr. Oz, that of green coffee, and one of the things on which the denial arrived: if until a few years ago there was still little research on the slimming power of green coffee , at a certain point they multiplied as if by magic. Green coffee does not make you lose weight. It does not stimulate your metabolism making you lose three pounds a month without doing anything at all. It has more or less the same exciting power as regular coffee. Yet certain TV shows have continued to advertise it as a weight loss miracle . Now also the Federal Trade Commissionhe said his: it’s all a hoax. Green coffee is a sòla, (for the English and American friends who follow me the word sòla is untranslatable even with the automatic translator, but it means rip-off). According to the Federal Trade Commission, the slimming powers of green coffee are unfounded : it was a 2010 study by Applied Food Science that pushed green coffee as a slimming product, but the study proved unsustainable from a scientific point of view. Yet, as this article also saysAlthough Dr. Oz has ended up clearing himself in court, people continue to buy green coffee, hoping for a miracle. Miracle that will not be there. All body fat would be more likely to dissolve in sleep than a slimming power of green coffee extract.
