In addition to its functions in health care, it is reported that this kind of fruit is useful in losing weight. In other words, it can not only decompose the present adipose cells, but also prevent the formation of new adipose cells. Scientists got some issues from little mice and tested them with the polyphenol extracted from the blueberries. The tests have shown that a large amount of polyphenol would reduce the adipose cells by 73%, while a small amount of such substance can cut down the number of adipose cells by about 27%. As a result, blueberry will become a powerful weapon to fight against obesity in the near future. Moreover, the high content of polyphenol in it is able to prevent heart diseases and diabetes. It deserves the name of supreme fruit.?
