Sterculic Oil Could Help Fight Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes

  

James Perfield, a University of Missouri researcher, has, found that a specific plant oil, known as sterculic oil, may be able to reduce belly fat in humans. Belly fat leads to serious medical problems, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke. Sterculic oil is extracted from seeds of the Sterculia foetida tree.

Dr Perfield adds"This research paves the way for potential use in humans."

Will there be human trial studies for sterculic oil extract in the near future?

I imagine there will be. Dr Perfield said that"This research paves the way for potential use in humans". Hopefully something can be done soon!
