Beijing the time the news July 16, living in common The grapefruit has medical efficacy of magic. Canadian scientists Research confirmed that the treatment will not only help grapefruit diabetes disease , will also help obese people lose weight.

pomelo grapefruit contains a glycoside called the composition of ligands. A study found that grapefruit glycoside ligands can induce the liver to digest fat decomposition. Eat grapefruit on the accumulation of body fat does not lead. The researchers believe that this component would also help treat diabetes, the human body because it can balance the level of insulin and glucose. However, researchers still need to carry out further tests in order to produce the corresponding ligand glycoside grapefruit supplements. By then, people can add grapefruit glycoside ligands to treat type II diabetes. The development of type II diabetes will lead to serious heart disease.

University of Western Ontario researchers who carried out using rats of the study and the results of their research published in the "II diabetes mellitus," Journal of Medicine. Scientific research personnel of the two groups were observed on this mouse. A group of researchers to mice eating a specific diet to accelerate their "metabolic syndrome." Who suffer from "metabolic syndrome" will result in type II diabetes. In addition a group of rats to eat food with the control group of mice eat the same food, but contain a higher content of ligand shaddock glycosides.

researchers found that food does not contain glycoside ligand shaddock obese mice, cholesterol levels, the body of insulin antibodies. Add the grapefruit and eat glycoside ligand of the rat food is a normal physical condition, these symptoms did not occur. Researchers believe that the mice would be elevated cholesterol levels glycoside ligand shaddock promptly corrected, and grapefruit glycoside ligands can accelerate the decomposition of liver fat, not fat storage.

of the study's chief researchers Murray - Professor Hough said, "In addition, the pomelo glycoside ligands can prevent the mice become obese. The study is unique in being the grapefruit diet Glycoside Ligands the effect of calorie intake and food has nothing to do, because these two groups of rats ate the same amount of food, was also exactly the same as fat. "Next, the University of Western Ontario researchers will further experiments, at an early date so that grapefruit in this The magic ingredient to benefit the people as soon as possible anti-obesity.

previously have 100 scientists on obesity study found that eating grapefruit can lose weight. The researchers explained that the level of glucose measurements found that the reasons for weight loss may be associated with lower insulin levels. Because normal is easy to make blood sugar rise after eating the food, will accelerate the secretion of insulin, blood glucose and insulin to be absorbed easily, and then into fat, so to lose weight is to avoid upgrading the level of insulin secretion. Grapefruit on the "low-insulin" food. On the other hand, grapefruit is extremely low calories. For people interested in weight loss, this is an exciting good news.
