Enviga, a green tea-based, caffeinated, carbonated drink, is in clinical testing...

Clinical testing for a soft drink? What, does it need FDA approval??

LOL! The benefits of Green Tea have been known for years in many studies. That means the FDA, no doubt, will ban it.

If Coke wants to market this drink as a weight-loss drug, as it seems the might, you bet it will require clinical testing. It could take five or six years to complete.

If they are going to make any health related claims, yes - they would have to pass FDA muster.
