Tea Mushroom Helps Worms Lose Weight

The scientists from the University of North Carolina have discovered that tea mushroom contains beneficial microbes. These microbes have a similar effect to fasting. Experts have researched how microorganisms affect the metabolism of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Probiotic microbes change the expression of genes involved in fat metabolism. As a result, the worms' fat reserves decrease. However, scientists note that additional research is needed to study the effects of tea mushroom on humans.
