RASPBERRY HEALTH BENEFITS
Raspberries have the potential to improve management of obesity.
Although this research is in its early stages, scientists now know that metabolism in our fat cells can be increased by phytonutrients found in raspberries, especially rheosmin (also called raspberry ketone).
By increasing enzyme activity, oxygen consumption, and heat production in certain types of fat cells, raspberry phytonutrients like rheosmin may be able to decrease the risk of obesity as well as the risk of fatty liver.
In addition to these benefits, rheosmin can decrease the activity of a fat-digesting enzyme released by our pancreas called pancreatic lipase.
This decrease in enzyme activity may result in less digestion and absorption of fat. (Source: WHFoods)
