Lace your fatty meal with this fruit to prevent yourself from getting fat

Researchers at Hebrew University and Harvard University have teamed up together in finding the benefitsof  the extract  naringenin, a compound from grapefruit.  With the use of nanotechnology, food is absorbed 11 times better than normal. This may forever change the way our metabolisms deal with fatty and sugary food.


They have isolated the molecule that creates the bitter taste in grapefruits, and have strong clinical evidence that if developed as a dietary supplement. 

"Under regular conditions the absorption of the fat- and sugar-busting molecule naringenin is quite low. You'd have to ingest a lot of grapefruits for it to work -- probably more than you'd ever want to eat.

To improve absorption capabilities, the researchers applied new tools from nanotechnology, and engineered a form of naringenin that includes an extra ring of sugar attached to the molecule. It is this extra ring that improves the absorption of naringenin and turns its bitter taste to sweet."
