Immediately before being ingested, the meals were warmed in amicrowave oven, and 0.2 g [13C]triolein (Cambridge IsotopeLaboratories, Andover, MA) was thoroughly mixed into themeal. Five hundred milliliters warm water and 10 g sucrose wereadded to the tea extract beverage or placebo preparation, whichwere well stirred. The subjects were randomly assigned to drinkeither the tea extract or the placebo beverage concurrently withthe meal. Breath samples were then collected at hourly intervalsfor 8 h. At the end of each test period, the subjects were asked torate a variety of symptoms—including nausea, bloating, abdom-inal discomfort, rectal gas, and obfuscating symptoms— on apreviously described linear scale that ranged from 0 (none) to 4(severe) (25).
