"Love stone fruits? I do! Here&amp;#x27;s why you should load up on them this summer... A new study to be presented at the American Chemical Society in Philadelphia next August reports that stone fruits (plums, peaches and nectarines) could be a &amp;quot;secret weapon&amp;quot; against something called &amp;quot;metabolic syndrome,&amp;quot; a component of obesity, inflammations and other serious health problems. &amp;quot;Our studies have shown that stone fruits--peaches, plums and nectarines--have bioactive compounds that can potentially fight the syndrome,&amp;quot; one of the researchers noted. &amp;quot;Our work indicates that phenolic compounds present in these fruits have anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties in different cell lines and may also reduce the oxidation of bad cholesterol LDL which is associated to cardiovascular disease.&amp;quot; This is great news, because I&amp;#x27;m obsessed with stone fruit. My personal fave is the pluot. P.S. 4 medications that could be making you gain weight. And, do you need these weight loss goggles? Photo: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
