Housecall for Health: Fight Obesity… With Tequila?

    Tequila

    Could tequila be a new weapon in the battle against obesity?

    FOX’s Colleen Cappon reports in this edition of “Housecall for Health”:

    Researchers in Mexico say tequila can do more than get a party going, it may protect against obesity and diabetes.

    A study presented by the American Chemical Society found natural sugars derived from the agave plant, the same plant used to make tequila, protected a group of mice against diet-induced obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

    Agavins act as dietary fibers and don’t raise blood sugar like other sweeteners.
