Hebarl Teas
How good are the slimming herbal teas? Will they casue side effects in future?
DietDoc
Dear Nattie
There are so many herbal teas available that it is difficult to say which one will cause side-effects and which one won't. Generally speaking the herbal teas that cause chronic diarrhoea will have negative side-effects such as loss of normal bowel habits, dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, etc. You can probably use green tea as there are some research results that indicate that it has a slimming effect.
Best regards
