Enviga Tea Drink
"Be positive, Drink negative". "The calorie burner"."Invigorate your metabolism." These eyebrow raising slogans are for the new drink, Enviga, which promises to burn more calories than it provides.
Enviga, a carbonated green tea drink available in three flavors, is the brainchild of a union between Nestle and Coca Cola, both better known for contributing to weight gain, not weight loss. Each 12 oz can contains green tea extract, caffeine and unspecified "natural plant micronutrients" formulated to increase calorie burning. The company claims that drinking 3 cans of Enviga a day burns 60 to 100 calories. No scientific studies have been done on Enviga. At a cost of $1.29 to $1.49 per can (up to $134/mo) that is a pricey gamble.
