[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1082121, member: 211504"] That test proves.....absolutely nothing....aside from apple juice having more sugar in it than half of a grapefruit. Let's break down the numbers: in the best case, 1.6kg was lost vs .3kb in the placebo. half of a grapefruit has about 13g of carbs vs about 24g in 7oz of apple juice. That's a difference of 11g of carbs between the two or 44 calories. The subjects consumed these 3 times a day which means the placebo group was consuming about 132 calories more each day(44calorie difference x 3). The test was performed over 12 weeks (84 days). 132x84=11,088 calorie difference. A pound of fat contains about 3500 calories 11,088/3500=3.168lbs or about [B]1.44kg[/B] Again...the weight loss observed between the two groups was [B]1.3kg Therefore, this study was essentially a waste of everyone's time.
