Estrogen production in fat cells plays a role in helping to regulate body weight. Because of this, researchers hypothesized that polyphenol compounds in green tea may stimulate aromatase in fat tissue and promote a healthy body weight. They conducted an animal experiment where green tea beverage was consumed regularly for six months. They found that the green tea increased aromatase in adipose tissue, which resulted in a decrease in the size of fat cells. While human studies are needed, the authors write that these results highlight one mechanism by which green tea may promote healthy weight.
This makes it perhaps the most aromatasizing herb known, since it will effectively increase aromatase activity in both those with female sexual organs and those without. Genistein is known to increase aromatase activity in the endometrium, which is something only those who HAVE an endometrium can benefit from. CAIS women with at least one Y chromosome, transwomen, and men who just want to grow breasts won't get that particular effect. Green tea, however, effects fat cell aromatase. Everyone can benefit!
