Enviga green tea wont burns calories

Coca-Cola Co. and its partner Nestle agreed to pay $650,000 in a settlement with 27 states over claims that Enviga green tea burns calories, resulting in weight loss.

The Attorney General stated Thursday said the companies Coca-Cola Co. and its partner Nestle claimed that drinking their Enviga beverage, an artificially sweetened green tea soda, boosted metabolism and burned more calories than the product contained, resulting in weight loss.

The companies agreed to re-label Enviga to add disclosures and disclaim weight-loss benefits, Any marketing of Enviga or a similar beverage that uses the terms "the calorie burner," "negative calories" or "drink negative" must clearly disclose that the product doesn't lead to weight loss without diet and exercise.
