In this study, researchers from the University of Tsukuba in Japan explored the health benefits of olive leaf tea (OLT) in individuals with pre-diabetes, as well as compared the health benefits of low-concentration OLT (LOLT) and OLT. Their results were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that OLT has lipid-lowering effects on pre-diabetics. Further studies, however, are needed to accurately determine its effect on abdominal obesity and glucose metabolism.
