Eating Pears Linked To Lower Risk Of Obesity- Study

A new study published in the journal Nutrition and Food Science found that
adults who consumed pears had a lower body weight than non-pear eaters, as well as were 35 percent less likely to become obese.

The study also revealed the rich fiber content of this fruit.

Carol O’Neil of the Louisiana State University who led the study said “We believe fiber intake may have driven the lower body weights that were seen in this study."

The study utilized nine years' worth of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which involved over 24,000 subjects 19 years old and above.
