Improved Blood Sugar Control Linked to Cashew Seed Extract

Posted: Sunday, July 25, 2010

Adding cashew seed extract to one's diet may help lower diabetes risk, according to published findings. This is because compounds in cashew seeds have been found to improve the body's response to insulin. The results of the trial showed that only the cells introduced to cashew seed extract had better blood sugar control. In fact, the extract increased the activity level of muscle cells needed for the body to properly absorb blood sugar.
