According to nutritional experts at the University of Aberdeen, adding beetroot - which contains antioxidants - to burgers prevents the body from absorbing the 'bad' fat. In order to test their findings, the team has created their own turkey and beetroot burger and are currently looking for healthy males to participate in their trial...The point being, they do not know if beetroot can make turkeyburgers, not hamburgers, "healthier."
The researchers are seeking males aged between 21 and 60 years to participate in the study, and it will be conducted over 4 separate days at the Rowett Institute in Bucksburn, Aberdeenshire...
If we can identify that using a vegetable extract such as beetroot in processed food stops bad fat from being ingested, this could not only have significant health benefits for the public but also benefits for the processed food industry.
