DESCRIPTION: Flavonoid phytonutrients (found concentrated in citrus, berries, red onions, beans, green tea, grapes, and cocoa) may boost metabolism enough to significantly slim one's waistline. This completes the seven-part video series on the fascinating phenomenon of the Mystery of the Missing Calories. I started out reviewing the balance of evidence of why nuts don't tend to contribute to weight gain in Nuts and Obesity: The Weight of Evidence (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-..., introduced two theories on last Monday (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/solvi..., both of which were put to the test in a study on peanut butter (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testi.... Then came an elegant study using walnut smoothies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testi..., followed by the big reveal in Testing the Fat Burning Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testi.... But why might nuts help you burn more fat? Arginine is one possibility (see yesterday's video-of-the-day at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fat-b...) and today's flavonoids are another. For more on flavonoid phytonutrients, see my video Phytochemicals: The Nutrition Facts Missing From the Label (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phyto.... For a comparison between fruit juices, see Best Fruit Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-...) along with a video on putting that knowledge into practice, Pink Juice With Green Foam (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pink-.... Which beverage has the most antioxidants though? See Better Than Green Tea (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bette.... What about juiced vegetables such as carrots and beets? See Benzene in Carrot Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/benze...) and an entire series starting with Doping With Beet Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dopin.... For more on the wonders of concord grapes (yum!), see Repairing DNA Damage (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/repai...) and Plant-Based Diets and Cellular Stress Defenses (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant....
