Chinese Diet Teas - Do Not Consume Escessively
January 6, 2009
Although they come in different names, such as fasting tea or slimming tea, all deliver a common line, "Drink in this tea and you will melt off the pounds". Yet, many experts noted that what you are in fact ingesting from these products is a plant based laxative that can induce a few disorders such as diarrhea or chronic constipation, and perhaps even death when consumed in excessive amounts.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) once declared that the laxative teas and dietary supplements of most interest are those containing 1 or more substances, such as aloe, castor oil, and cascara. These products are derived from plants and have been used many years for their ability to relieve constipation and boost bowel movements. They are highly useful for such intentions with occasional use.
When the labeled "Chinese diet teas" are overly used grounded on the misconception that frequent bowel movements forbid the absorption of calories, problems might appear. Numerous studies have proved that laxative induced diarrhea does not significantly dilute absorption of calories since laxatives don't work in the small intestine where the calories are absorbed. It mainly works on the colon, which is the lower end of the bowel.
It is true in fact, that when the Chinese diet teas are by steeping the tea for a longer duration than product labeling recommends, or when taking more than the advisable amount, the tea effects could lead to short as well as long term harmful conditions. This may lead to stomach cramps, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea which are the usual disorders to happen. This condition can last for several days.
When these laxatives are used continually, laxative dependency will be likely to develop with rounds of chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain as well as constipation. In the most harsh cases, these laxatives can cause fainting, dehydration and serious electrolyte disorders. As observed, these after-effects of excessive use are most likely to develop in people who are nutritionally compromised due to rigorous weight-loss dieting.
Due to these concerns, the FDA is now considering requiring the manufacturers of labeled "Chinese diet teas" to place warning labels on each their product stimulant laxatives. It is also vital that those who are drinking Chinese diet teas for any reason have to read and follow the recommended directions carefully and learn about tea effects. The words printed on the label under "warning" have to then be given attention.
