Here is an intriguing notion - a nice, safe for us, drink to slow down carb metabolism.... or at least I think that is what they mean.

The cynical part of my mind suggests there will be progress in this area because of the commercial potential of healthy drinks....

The study is the first to assess the effect of berry fermentation at different temperatures on these carb-inhibiting enzymes.

"Preliminary studies have indicated that anthocyanins may have a positive effect on cognition and overall brain health while protecting against some of the effects of aging, such as Alzheimer's disease and memory loss. These berries have some very intriguing components," de Mejia said.
"A food chemist, de Mejia would like to remove the alcohol from the wines, leaving the carb-degrading enzyme compounds, the inflammation-fighting anthocyanins, and other beneficial bioactive components in a functional and flavorful drink for diabetics and others."
 
the better way is not to eat so many carbs in the first place... then you won't need to splash out money on a ridiculous "special" drink for diabetics... they've seen a market and they're going for it... but they ain't gonna tackle the true reasons for needing the special drink... excess carb consumption...
 
Love berries so this is great news :thumbup:
