Mol. Nutr. Food Res . 2019, 63 , 1801219 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201801219 In article number 1801219 Yan Zhang and co‐workers show that chlorophyll supplementation in early life effectively slows body weight gain, improves glucose tolerance, and reduces low‐grade inflammation in mice fed a high‐fat diet, suggesting that chlorophyll might protect against obesity later in life.
