THAILAND —A recent study conducted at the School of Anti-aging and regenerative Medicine at Mae Fah Luang University in Bangkok and published in Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine found that fruits rich in anthocyanins could help prevent type-2 diabetes.
Anthocyanins are a form of antioxidants. The study analyzed a group of diabetic rats, it is noted that their body functions are very similar to humans. The rats were given 125 or 250 mg of fruit extract that were rich with anthocyanins, twice a day for five weeks.
The team found that the rats that consumed 250 mg of the extract showed significant improvements in their glucose (blood sugar) levels. After the five-week treatment their blood sugar levels were normalized.
