Grapefruits have fat-burning qualities
Research from Ontario, Canada has found that naringenin, a flavanoid found in citrus fruit, particularly grapefruit, makes the liver burn fat instead of storing it after a meal. Researchers believe the chemical can help obesity sufferers and even fight diabetes, because it also helped balance insulin and glucose levels. But since the tests involved much higher doses of naringenin than those found naturally in the fruit, anyone interested in its fat-busting benefits will have to wait for scientists to develop a concentrated supplement.
