Green coffee is being sold as the latest weight loss supplement and there are quite a few people swearing by its efficacy. The problem with the buyers these days is that, instead of digging deep into the claims made by products and brands, they go by the advertisements, which might not really be true and can just be a baseless publicity gimmick. First featured in ‘The Dr. Oz Show’ (a popular American health show), Green Coffee was publicised as a weight loss supplement with miraculous results. While many claimed that it appeared more like an advertorial, the extract gained popularity and the demand soared up for this mystery potion which was earlier unknown. But if coffee is believed to have a negative impact on the metabolism, why is green coffee considered healthy? Scientists claim that, unroasted coffee has high levels of chlorogenic acid – a compound which diminishes during the roasting process. Chlorogenic acid is believed to have health benefits and is said to aid in weight loss. According to Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is important to exercise caution when it comes to food supplements. Since more research is needed in establishing the harmlessness of green coffee, it is necessary to consult your doctor before trying it out as enough data is not available on the impact it may cause on your body.
