How Healthy is Ogbono?

I just discovered recently how healthy Ogbono soup is , Ogbono soup is our major soup in Nigeria, its a soup we eat regularly it is actually good for health, am not here to discuss how to prepare it but in-case you like to know ( Here ) , i will like to discuss how healthy it is for we African and how it helps with our weight loss



You might be surprise today that our own very soup seed  is sold as drugs abroad for weight loss, the scientific name of Ogbono soup is "Irvingia gabonensis" they have converted it to a powder form and put it into capsule, and it is sold for the purpose of weight loss, a bottle i heard is sold for $50 (120 capsule)
The seed have a different ways to promote weight loss, it increase the level of Hormone know as adiponectin" , it also reduce our weight by increasing the level of leptin in the body.
Ogbono also helps weight loss by inhibiting an enzymes called glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, by doing this it reduce the level of blood sugar
A study shows that the seeds really helps for weight loss ! it's  my son's best draw soup if made nicely, and who can imagine a soup like this can reduce our weight?
