Apple polyphenols shown to reduce organ fat Oct 2004 Japan - Polyphenols extracted from apples could increase muscle power and reduce fat in and around organs in the human body, according to the results of joint research conducted by Asahi Breweries, Ltd. and Nippon Sport Science University graduate school.
Asahi Breweries researchers and Hiroyuki Nakajima, professor of the NSSU graduate school, fed rats with food that contained 5 percent apple polyphenols, and compared them after three weeks with rats that were fed ordinary food.
The results showed that rats fed with food containing apple polyphenols gained 16 percent more muscle strength and lost 27 percent of organ fat when compared with those that ate ordinary food.
Polyphenols contained in red wine and black beans have been known to remove oxygen radicals in the body, a substance that may cause cancer and accelerate the process of aging. But this is the first time a polyphenol has been shown to have an effect on muscle strength and organ fat.

#1 A woman from New York was getting her affairs in order. She prepared her will and made her final arraignments. As part of these arraignments she met with her pastor to talk about what type of funeral service she wanted, etc. She told her pastor she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Bloomindales. "Bloomindales!" the pastor said. "Why Bloomindales?""That way, I know my daughters will visit me twice a week." #2 In a psychiatrist's waiting room two patients are having a conversation. One says to the other, "Why are you here?"
The second answers, "I'm Napoleon, so the doctor told me to come here."
The first is curious and asks, "How do you know that you're Napoleon?" The second responds, "God told me I was."At this point, a patient on the other side of the room shouts,"NO I DIDN'T!" #3 A rookie pitcher was struggling at the mound, so the catcher walked out to have a talk with him. "I've figured out your problem," he told the young southpaw. "You always seem to lose control at the same point in every game." "When is that?" asked the kid. "Right after the National Anthem." #4 There was a woman who spent some months serving God in Kenya. On her final visit to a remote township she attended a medical clinic. As the Maasai women there began to sing together,she found herself deeply moved by their hauntingly beautiful harmonies. She wanted to always remember so she recorded this moment and would share it with friends when she arrived home. With tears flowing down her cheeks, she turned to her friend and asked, "Can you please tell me the translation of the words to this song?"Her friend looked at her an solemnly replied, "If you boil the water, you won't get dysentery."
