Lee Swanson Research Update--Rutin may help in battle with obesity

[Guest guest]

December 6, 2007Dear Friends and Valued Customers,Researchers in Taiwan have shown that rutin, a bioflavonoid generally prized for enhancing the absorption of vitamin C in the body, may become an important tool in the battle against obesity. And that’s encouraging.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “Since the mid-‘70s, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased sharply for both adults and children. Data from two NHANES surveys show that among adults aged 20-74 years the prevalence of obesity increased from 15% to 32.9%. The two surveys also show increases in overweight among children and teens. For children aged two to five years, the prevalence of overweight increased from 5% to 13.9%; for those aged 6-11 years, prevalence increased from 6.5% to 18.8%; and for those aged 12-19 years, prevalence increased from 5% to 17.4%.”Check out my report below and find out what researchers discovered concerning rutin and obesity.My second report focuses on another major health issue…high cholesterol.
