Peel Off Pounds?

From December 2012 Women's Health:

"Apples may be the key to eating what you want without gaining a bushel.  Scientists at the University of Iowa found that a compound known as ursolic acid that is found in apples and other fruits increased metabolism--revvving muscle mass and upped levels of brown fat (which burns other fat) in lab mice.  The findings could eventually lead to a supplement potent enough to have the same effect in humans.  In the meantime, chomp away--apples can also suppress your appetite and help whittle your core."

--Elsewhere I have read that apples aide in reduction of muscle atrophy ;-)
