While Dr. Oz has touted Raspberry Ketones as a "miracle
fat burner in a bottle" in February 2012, there have been no human studies
that show raspberry ketones burn fat or benefit your weight loss to date. However
now, there are interesting studies performed on rats. One study gave male rats
raspberry ketones, which resulted in an increased secretion of adiponectin, a
protein used by the body to regulate metabolism. As a result, the rat had less
fat. Another study fed rats a high-fat diet with varying amounts of raspberry
ketones. The rodents that received more raspberry ketones burned more body fat
and gained less fat tissue. A third study found that the raspberry ketones
stimulated the breakdown of the fat cells after fat cells were exposed to
raspberry ketones in a test tube.
