Is it true that...?

Question

You lose 60 calories of fat when you sleep..
Drinking milk helps one's rate of metabolism faster..
Eating french fries enlarges chest (well, that's the rumor spreading in our class, I don't know if I'm going to believe it)

and...

All tea really contains caffeine...

I already posted this on other health section- someone told me to try to post this on science section- to get more relevant details.

Answer 1

you burn NO calories when you sleep...you do burn some calories when sitting down and laying down but none when you sleep

calcium...when dieting helps lose weight and raise your metabolism...not just milk

with french fries it makes you fatter....

not all tea has caffeine....it just isn't your conventional tea...it might not even taste like tea.....it depends on what ingredients you play around with

Answer 2

Eating specific foods has no effect on where and how much fat is deposited. Unused energy in one's system is converted to fat depending on a large number of factors, but this fat is then deposited according to how that person's body distributes it. The origin of the fat has no effect at all.

About the milk I am not sure, unless there has been new research that I have not heard about I doubt it. Eating and/or drinking at regular intervals helps maintain a higher metabolic rate, and drinking enough also helps.

Answer 3

Hm, about the last one - I think that a lot of tea does contain some caffeine, but not all - there are herb teas that don't, and I think rooibos tea doesn't, either, but green and black tea do have some caffeine. The others, I cannot say for sure.

Answer 4

Yes, you burn calories when you sleep, but I doubt they are all coming from fat. Proteins and carbohydrates also have calories.

Yes, tea has caffeine. Not as much as coffee or soda. Herbal teas are not really tea at all.

Not sure about the rest of your questions, but I have my doubts about the french fry theory. Hope this helps.
