[QUOTE="Jam&Scones, post: 2515607, member: 514191"] [URL]https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/can-a-new-soup-cut-the-risk-of-type-2-diabetes-2f5wq9pvg[/URL] Interesting article sent to me - it’s behind paywall, but to summarise: [LIST] [*]the soup in question is made with a special type of broccoli with high levels of glucoraphanin [*]Glucoraphanin converts into sulforaphane in the body which apparently turns on genes which are regulated by protein NRF2 involved in blood sugar control - drawing out stored sugar whilst preventing new sugar being ‘laid down’. Thus lowering blood sugar [*]The researchers claim once a week is enough to reduce levels [*]Interestingly, the trial quoted says it took people with high blood sugar levels and gave them the soup once a week, in 12 months their levels had lowered to normal ranges [/LIST] It all reads a bit ‘gimmick diet’ to me. Or the quest for a ‘magic pill’ which cures all (when I firmly believe a wholistic lifestyle change is necessary). Could be the way the article is written though. But I’d be interested in opinions and if anyone has heard of this before? [/QUOTE]
