According to the World Health Organization (WHO), smoking is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and it is considered an epidemic that kills about 6 million people.
Recently, Mexican scientists have discovered a new option of treating nicotine addiction with raspberry powder. Dr. Alfonso Atitlan, from the Institute of Health Sciences at the University of Hidalgo, conducted an investigation which found the benefits of this fruit to lessen addiction.
Raspberry powder can be used to fight symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal, which appear when people stop smoking. According to scientists, this fruit contains large amounts of ellagic acid, a substance capable of accelerating the elimination of nicotine in the body.
Scientists recommended consuming 2 kilos of this powder to reduce withdrawal symptoms and to avoid spending money and time on other methods. Treatment involves consuming 5 grams of powder on a daily basis for 14 days.
