The idea is ripe plum, but when replenished it is the result of billions of people yearning

It's all still "studying", but its potential is real.

Creator is sometimes unpredictable. Evidence that we have the kind of fruit when looking at the appearance, everyone thinks that we know its identity. It is only when we add up, all are surprised to realize that our eyes are not always right.

The result in the picture below is a typical example. Ask real, does anyone look here without saying it is a plum?

Looks very much like ripe plum, right?

And this is the scene when we add it .

Of course, after looking at the image, you know it is not a plum.This is camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) - a berry that grows only in the mysterious Amazon rainforest.

Scientists and nutritionists assess camu camu as a "superfood" . The shape is small with a plum, but inside it is extremely rich in vitamin C, than oranges, lemons and similar fruits.

And most especially, the camu camu inside has polyphenols - the nutrient that is being proven to be resistant - the disease is suffering billions of people around the world.

Specifically, according to research from Laval University (Canada), when using polyphenols extract in camu camu on rats eating fat-rich diet, rich in sugar, it seems that their weight gain also slows down.

"Polyphenol-rich fruits have been shown to have many health benefits," said study author André Marette.

"This makes us wonder if camu camu works against obesity and metabolic disorders."

The team then performed experiments on obese mice. Within 8 weeks, they were fed a lot of fat and sugar, while other groups of mice ate a low-fat, low-sugar diet. Half of the first group of mice were then added with camu camu extracts, while the other half did not.

Camu camu has polyphenols - a nutrient that has been shown to be resistant to obesity.

At the end of the experiment, mice fed camu camu had a 50% lower weight gain than mice that did not eat. The weight gain rate is even equivalent to the low-fat, low-sugar group

Based on the results, experts believe that camu camu fruit has an impact on metabolism, helps it work more efficiently, and reduces the ability to gain weight.

In addition, mice fed camu camu seemed to form the effect of glucose intolerance, decreased blood levels of toxins, and decreased metabolic rate.

"The intestinal bacteria are also restructured, making the process more effective," Marette said.

The bacteria were also tested in mice that did not eat camu. As a result, the effect of improving metabolism is also present in the short term.

In other words, camu camu seems to have the effect of reducing obesity , at least in mice. However, this does not mean that you should buy with this recipe, as it is unlikely that it will work on people.

In fact, many studies work on mice, but they do not show up in humans. Validating this use will be the work of future studies.

The study was published in the scientific journal Gut.
