are twice as likely as nonusers to have sudden cardiac death, it also showed

Weight gain and psychiatric treatment: Is there a role for green tea and
conjugated linoleic acid? - Lipids Health Dis. 2007 May 3;6:14 -
"Here we report on four cases of social anxiety
disorder treated with the atypical antipsychotic quetiapine.
Self-administration of conjugated linoleic acid and green tea extract may
have influenced objective anthropomorphic measurements; each patient had an
unexpected decrease in total body fat mass, a decrease in body fat
percentage and an increase in lean body mass. Since weight gain is a common
and undesirable side-effect with psychiatric medications, our observation
strongly suggests the need for controlled clinical trials using these
agents" - See
