Summer officially started this weekend.
Some of us are trying to fit into our summer clothes... we take a look at something you probably have in your kitchen right now... that could help you keep your weight down.
Ordinary Vinegar!
That's right.
The stuff you find in salad dressings, pickles and other common food items may be the ultimate tummy trimmer.
According to Japanese researchers... there's new evidence that vinegar can help prevent accumulation of body fat which causes weight gain.
Scientists in next month's issue of the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" reported that lab mice who were fed a high-fat diet and given acetic acid... the element that gives Vinegar its sour taste and strong smell... developed up to 10 percent less body fat than mice who were not given the acid.
Investigators discovered acetic acid fights fat by turning on genes in the body that make proteins which break down fats... keeping them from accumulating in the regions where fats accumulate... such as the tummy, backside and thighs.
But don't go guzzling this pungent liquid just yet.
Results have only been reported in animals.
So friends don’t take chances yet, we need to wait for firm confirmation from the Japanese researchers.
