Study on coffee, weight loss retracted | UTSanDiego.com: A 2012 study showing that green coffee bean extract helps dieters lose weight has been retracted, and a company selling the extract has paid a $3.5 million fine to the Federal Trade Commission for touting the unproven research in its advertising.
The FTC said Applied Food Sciences issued a misleading news release about the study, which it had commissioned, and then sent out a second news release promoting its extract after the topic was highlighted on "The Dr. Oz Show."
