    Anyone know anything about the effects of EGCG? I am doing CBL DB and was hoping this would add to the backloads.However, I'm worried that the increase in GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle shown here would also mean an increase in fat cells...http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18845128Then again, this study shows that EGCG could act directly on adipocytes to inhibit adipogenesis and induce apoptosishttp://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1038/oby.2005.115/fullJust want y'alls opinions...

    Honestly, I don't see why it would cause any more fat storage than normal... especially if you are supercharging GLUT4 activity

    I've played with it before and I didn't see any difference with or without.However, Green tea in general is great for other health reasons so if you do have the extra money I would get it.
