New experiments on animals show that the antioxidants molasses or molasses feed is able to fight obesity. Supplements with the addition of molasses or feed molasses will be a new approach in the treatment of obesity and weight control, according to nutritionists. Experiments on mice confirmed the effectiveness of the use of molasses in the diet with high fat content.



The rodents were given a very fatty foods, and nutritional supplements with two percent and four percent molasses extract. After 3 months on the diet, mice that received a more concentrated extract, molasses, weighed less and had less body fat. In addition, they have decreased levels of leptin – a hormone secreted by the fat. While mouse was eating the same amount of food.





Molasses extract is rich in polyphenols, a group of chemical components, which are known for their antioxidant properties. Previously, researchers found that molasses causes the body to spend more energy and increase gene expression in relation to liver cells and fat.





Experiments on volunteers will be held next year. Scientists believe that the molasses is a new way to treat obesity.
