Not just zero calories, but negative calories with EnvigaPosted Oct 16th 2006 2:25PM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Science, Business, New Products, America, Soda, Health & MedicalWith soda to blame as one of the contributing factors to the nation's obesity problem, maybe you have vowed to ignore the nasty aftertaste of artificial sweeteners in diet sodas. Diet soda has zero calories, right?Well, now you might be able to go one step further with a new drink from Coca-Cola that actually helps you burn calories. Enviga is a sparkling green tea that supposedly steps up your metabolism because it contains caffeine, calcium and most importantly, "naturally active plant micronutrients that allegedly increase the body's rate of calorie burning."Does it sound too good to be true? I doubt that you could realistically expect to lose 10 pounds by just sitting on the couch drinking Enviga all day. The article also says that it increases the calorie-burning rate in "healthy people with a lean-to-normal body type," which means for it to work, you already have to be healthy and lean. So do healthy, lean people even need this drink? It wouldn't hurt to try it. A poll (on the article) shows that a hefty majority (pun absolutely intended!) will try it when it hits stores in November. It's no secret that caffeine will amp you up, so you'll certainly have more energy to move around -- and moving around sure burns calories.
