I think when it comes to staying fit and healthy we are all looking for the magic pill…well, how about a magic berry?

Swedish scientist have recently discovered that eating lingonberries could prevent weight gain in people with a high-fat diet.

In addition to making the eater able to consume high fat courses without weight gain the lingonberries also seemed to have a positive effect on blood sugars and cholesterol in laboratory mice.

Researchers do warn “While the findings in mice are exciting, it should absolutely not be interpreted as a license to eat an unhealthy diet as long as you add lingonberries! “
