Grapefruit can cure diabetes

According to the Daily Telegraph of August 26, a new Israeli study found that eating grapefruit can help treat diabetes Scientists say grapefruit is bitter because it contains the antioxidant naringin ligand It is found that the therapeutic effect of naringin on type 2 diabetes is comparable to that of two widely used drugs Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels properly Naringin ligands help the body improve its sensitivity to insulin The substance also helps diabetics maintain a healthy weight Weight control is also an important part of diabetes treatment After eating, the body's blood sugar will rise rapidly, causing the liver to produce fatty acids for long-term energy storage Weight gain will bring more harm to the health of diabetic patients and reduce the efficiency of insulin New research has found that naringin ligands can be used by the liver to burn more fat, rather than store fat The researchers say naringin ligands can starve the liver - breaking down fatty acids, not carbohydrates According to the new research host, Jacques nahamias of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, naringin ligands are "outstanding" new therapies for diabetes He firmly believes that patients with diabetes who are receiving medication often eat grapefruit, the effect will be better However, Dr Ian fram of the British Diabetes Association believes that the research is still in its infancy, and the results are indeed gratifying, but need to be confirmed by a larger study.
