Now people have yet another tool to get rid of that bad looking waistline. A new Japanese study showed that brown seaweed can help reduce abdominal fat.

This study was not done with humans, it was done with small mice. The mice showed a decrease of 10% body weight through their abdomen with seaweed. Scientist concluded it was the pigment fucoxanthin, which also stimulated a protein in their white adipose tissue to oxidize.

Brown seaweed is not popular here in the US, but over at Japan - it’s consumed often. I did some research in Wikipedia and it shows that seaweed makes almost 10% of the Japanese diet. Also, it seems like Japan doesn’t have the big problem of overweight people as we do here in the United States.

OK, now back with the study - the finding shows very good results. We can eventually see some type of seaweed weight loss pill in a couple of years.

The only problem I see is that this study was not done with humans, so they still have a long way to go, but this still looks very promising.
