How many times have you heard that you should eat more fruit to lose weight? Despite that traditional diet tip, a new study shows that boosting your intake of fruit does not result in a corresponding boost in weight loss, reported Headline and Global News on Friday.
Challenging the assumption that vitamin-rich, high fiber, low-calorie vegetables and fruits were ideal for weight loss, researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham discovered a "near zero" benefit. Their conclusion resulted from a meta-analysis of several studies.
However, the researchers were quick to emphasize the health benefits of fruits and vegetables. They expressed concern that the results would cause consumers to avoid produce, reported the Times Live on Friday.
