Connecticut's attorney general says his office is investigating claims by Coca-Cola and Nestle that their green-tea drink Enviga can burn calories, saying the claims may amount to "voodoo nutrition." A Web site says the blend of green tea and caffeine burns more calories than it contains. The AG demanded copies of all studies, trials and papers proving the calorie-burning claim. A nonprofit group, Center for Science in the Public Interest, earlier threatened to sue Coke and Nestle over the Enviga claims.

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has said his office is investigating claims by Coca-Cola and Nestle that their new drink can burn calories, saying it may amount to “voodoo nutrition.”
Blumenthal’s investigation focuses on Enviga, a green-tea drink that contains caffeine, calcium and a green tea extract known as epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG. Coke says EGCG speeds up metabolism and increases energy use, especially when combined with caffeine.
