INS and metabolic syndrome: Consistent consumption of 5 to 6 or more cups daily or 200 to 300 mg of EGCG has been shown to benefit cardiovascular and metabolic health [30].In addition, animal studies have suggested that both green and black tea suppress adipocyte differentiation, proliferation and fatty acid uptake into adipose tissue, as well as other important markers of MetS, such as serum TG, cholesterol, glucose, and insulin [31], [32], which may result from gene expression being regulated by tea [33].
