I guess if it is on Oprah either it is going to work or it will attract enough people to make it a success in sales. The green tea diet was somewhat of a surprise to me. I grew up in a tea drinking family but never acquired the habit. I can remember watching my mom put the tea leaves into the little stainless steel ball and then pour water over it in her cup. I loved to smell the oder that rose from the cup but for a long time did not like the taste. I finally would drink it when they put a little honey in it for me.
