Raspberry ketone is said to prevent obesity. This active ingredient is in raspberries. The Department of Medical Biochemistry, Ehime University School of Medicine has conducted research into this. The study was done on mice.
How?
Different groups of mice were fed a fatty diet for 10 weeks. The mice were also fed Raspberry Ketone in different amounts: 0.5% 1% or 2%.
The groups of mice were then fed the same diet with 1% Raspberry Ketone for 6 weeks.
Results
Raspberry ketone went against body weight gain and weight in the liver and fatty tissue.
Raspberry ketone worked preventively against:
- Weight gain from a diet high in fat
- Fatty liver
- Increase in adipose tissue
Conclusion
Raspberry ketone may have a preventive effect and may improve obesity and fatty liver disease.
Raspberry ketone may possibly work preventively against obesity and fatty liver disease. It may also improve the current situation.
Why is it important
Obesity is becoming more and more normal and involves many different diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and so on. Diet plays a major role in obesity, which is why it is important that people who want to become obese and / or who are obese have raspberries in their diet.
