You don’t have to order a double-chocolate brownie to soothe your sweet tooth. Though no dessert will trump a salad in the nutrition department, certain baking ingredients can help dieters. Safflower oil, which is made from the seeds of the safflower plant, is low in saturated fat and can be substituted in muffin, brownie, and cupcake recipes. It’s also a natural belly flattener—a recent study found that women who ate safflower oil each day lost an average of 6.3% of fat from their belly area. ~ Fitbie
