当你开始谷歌“减肥”时，你就面临着从谎话中辨认真相的挑战。
Matcha green tea powder claims to speed up weight loss, but let's see what the evidence says.
据说，绿茶抹茶粉可以促进减肥，不过还是让我们看看其根据。
Matcha is a green tea made from leaves of the Camellia sinensis, or tea plant, but it's processed into a green powder and can be mixed into liquids or food.
抹茶是用茶树叶子制成的一种绿茶，但它被加工成了一种绿色粉末，可以加入液体或食物中。
Before the leaves are harvested, the tea plant is put in the shade for a few weeks, which increases the content of theanine and caffeine.
在收割茶叶之前，茶树要在阴凉处放置几周以增加茶氨酸和咖啡因的含量。
No studies have tested the effect of matcha on weight loss. A review of six studies using green tea preparations for weight loss over 12 weeks found a difference based on country. In studies conducted outside of Japan, people consuming green tea did not lose more weight than controls.
没有研究测试过抹茶的减肥效果。人们使用绿茶制剂进行了6次为期12周的减肥研究。回顾了这六次研究的结果后发现，各国的情况有所不同。除了日本，在其他国家进行的研究中，饮用绿茶的人并没有比对照组减掉更多体重。
In the eight studies conducted within Japan, the mean weight loss ranged from 200 grams to 3.5 kilos in favour of green tea preparations.
在日本进行的八项研究中，绿茶制剂的平均减肥效果从200克到3.5公斤不等。
Verdict: Fiction! There are currently no studies testing whether matcha tea accelerates weight loss.
结论：都是假的!目前还没有研究测试抹茶是否能促进减肥。
