Hey - just wondering if anyone's heard of this and has an opinion or more info? A friend fwded an ad to me that said that Wu Long (really oolong) tea was better at fat burning than green tea.

Wulong tea is becoming one of the most popular teas designed to accelerate weight loss. Research shows drinking two cups of Wu-long every day not only helps shed stubborn pounds by boosting your metabolism, but also blocks the fattening effects of carbohydrates; promotes strong, healthy teeth; improves cognitive functioning and mental well-being; clarifies your skin, giving it a healthy, radiant glow and strengthens your immune system.

WULONG Burns over 157% more fat than green tea: In a study published in the August 2003 edition of the Journal of Medical Investigation, scientists from Japan's University of Tokushima School of Medicine found that people who drank two cups a day of Wulong experienced over 157% greater fat-burning results than those who drank the same amount of green tea.
