One of the primary reasons for our failing health is our nutrition. We have been following guidelines that are deeply flawed and now nearly all of us is affected by one or several of these maladies. This book enlightens you about those flaws and the remedies for you to correct them.
The United States is witnessing an explosion of the metabolic syndrome. We have unprecedented levels of people walking around with high blood pressure, abdominal
obesity, type II diabetes and high cholesterol.
America is in the midst of the greatest epidemic of its history. It is not a virus; it is not global warming; it is not obesity, per se. It is the imbalance of fat in our diet that is leading to heart disease, cancer, depression, ADD/ADHD, osteoporosis, arthritis, and many other disorders.Green Coffee Bean Extract and Weight Loss
Obesity is becoming the epidemic disease of the 21st century in the United States. Nearly two thirds of the adult population is now overweight or obese according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Likewise, the CDC reports that there has been a tripling of overweight youth in America from 5.5% to over 16% in the last several decades.
As the population gets larger, attempts are being made to find a fix. Numerous diets, fads, medications and surgeries have tried to address the burgeoning adipose problem over the same time period with varying degrees of success. An example of a weight loss drug gone badly was the fen-phen medication combination that was marketed in the 1990’s. These medications (a combination of fenfluramine/phentermine) were found to produce significant weight loss but they were also linked to heart valve disease and pulmonary hypertension that led to a number of deaths. The medication that was the culprit for these toxicities was fenfluramine and it was withdrawn from the market place in 1997.
I give you this background as it is always important to know that much research and time is needed before the safety, efficacy and long-term side effects are learned about a new therapy. Such is the case of an exciting new treatment for obesity published in the journal Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy.2012; 5:21-27. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of green coffee bean extract. The authors of this paper (Vinson, Burnham and Nagendran) demonstrated that an extract from green coffee beans effectively led to a 4.4% reduction in body fat and an average loss of over 17 pounds over a 6 week treatment.
While this was a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled and crossover designed study (the best kind to prove that the treatment is truly effective) only 16 adult subjects were evaluated. The long-term efficacy, toxicity, side effects and safety are not known at this time. As more data emerge about green coffee bean extract I will bring it to you. In the meantime, this exciting new therapy is not yet ready for prime time in weight loss management.
OK, so how much were they using?
Hi Glenn;
The study treated subjects with 350 mg bid, 350 mg tid or placebo in a cross-over design and in a blinded fashion. The only problem is that only 16 subjects were studied. I found a similar abstract published in 2009 that did not reveal any weight loss benefit. Hope this is helpful.
You see alot of these body fat wt loss promos, do they all work the same and should we all be concerned about this?
Hi there, I enjoy reading through your article. I like to write a little comment to support
you.
Coffee is a brewed beverage with a distinct aroma and flavor, prepared from the roasted seeds of the Coffea plant. The seeds are found in coffee “berries”, which grow on trees cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Southeast Asia, India and Africa. Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world.’

Dr. Lyons, most people do not associate a cough with GERD. I have a severe cough and lots of congestion, no asthma. Could you address this issue, so that they seek help. ai have had surgery, Nissen and it worked for 9 years, now having trouble again. I am on a now chew diet, due to Jaw surgery, so of course that limits what I can eat, so don’t get a lot of fruit and little meat. I have all three of your books and they are excellent, but trying to find something to eat that is non-chew is difficult. Just had major sinus surgery, due to cough, that is thought to be from GERD and causing my cough. Help!
