As unbelievabl as it sounds, Coca Cola plans on launching a new version of diet coke in the spring of 2007.? It will be fortified with vitamins and minerals.? According to a cnnmoney.com article, this will be the first nutrient enhanced carbonated soda to be offered by a major brand.

Green tea has had a great run in popularity over the last 5 years because of it’s health benefits.? Many people have forgone coffee for this supposed “healthy” drink.?

They were in quest of making the claim that five ounces of green tea per day may reduce the risk of heart disease.
The FDA rviewed 105 articles and other literature submitted as part of the petition but found no evidence to support the beverages health claims.?
?”FDA concludes there is no credible evidence to support qualified health claims for green tea or green tea extract and a reduction of a number of risk factors associated with CVD” or cardiovascular disease, Barbara O. Schneeman, director of the agency’s Office of Nutritional Products, Labeling and Dietary Supplements, wrote in a letter denying the petition. The FDA posted the letter to its Web site Tuesday.
