Eating berries and grapes each day was able to convert excess white fat into brown fat that can burn calories and prevent weight gain, the scientists found.
Scientists at Washington State University fed mice a high-fat diet. Those who consume resveratrol, a polyphenol compound, in an amount equivalent to 12 ounces of fruit per day (about two or three servings a day) lowered 40 percent of body weight in mice.
Previous research has claimed that resveratrol may help prevent obesity. Most studies, including studies of the popular wine, resveratrol is also used in a greater concentration, more than the amount that humans can consume in a normal diet.
Professor of animal science and scientists Songbo Du Min Wang showed that the rats that were fed a diet containing 0.1 percent resveratrol is able to transform white fat overload in the body they become brown fat for energy burning.
