Eating Japanese sweet potatoes may lower blood sugar.

0 Replies

Hi everyone,

This was in the news papers recently about Japanese sweet potatoes which are drier and creamier than regular sweet potatoes as they contain the extract caiapo, which's believed to lower blood sugar levels.

Here's the Daily Express article:

Caiapo extract is being used as a supplement in Japan to improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels in those with type 2 Diabetes.

Here's the article:

A shocking statistic is that by 2025 there will be 333million with type 2 diabetes world wide, so if Japanese sweet potatoes can help then that's well worth knowing.
