Question Will adding sweetner, sugar, lemon, mint to a cup of oolong tea
make it less beneficial if being used to encourage weight loss?
Answer Adding sweetner or sugar will definetly impact your weight loss but the bigger issue is that Oolong tea will not help you loss weight anymore than black tea will. Green and white teas are the teas that contain the ECGC which will help you loss weight. The recent claims are just false advertising trying to make a buck.
