Hi gals and guys,
Dr Ike once again! I am moving on to talk briefly about an antioxidant supplement you might soon see in a health store near you - found naturally in cherries - called anthocyanins. Why ? Michigan State University research people found that this compound helped to lower the blood levels of glucose by increasing insulin production by as much as 50 per cent. This may be useful in those with reduced production of insulin, but the story of diabetes mellitus is much more complex than that. Nevertheless, anthocyanins may be of use in preventing type 2 diabetes, and have been found to help protect against cancer and heart disease. So get chewing those cherries lol! Seriously, there is more research ongoing, but watch this space.
The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
To your abundant health,
Dr Ike
Functional Health Expert.
