Study shows eating oranges and mandarins could help regulate weight.

Researchers at the Western University of Ontario say mice fed a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet that were given nobiletin, a flavonoid found in oranges and mandarins, were noticeably thinner and had reduced levels of insulin resistance and blood fats.

The study, published in the Journal of Lipid Research, found the beneficial compound also reduced the amount of plaque in arteries.
