Regularly eating foods containing spices may
serve as more than just a flavorsome dish.
An Australian study has discovered that the capsaicin-loaded
spice has a direct effect to lowering blood glucose and insulin
levels. This is good news for
anyone faced with the prospect of Type II diabetes.
Volunteers in this study started off with a bland diet for four
weeks before switching to a diet that was supplemented with condiments
containing 55% cayenne chili.
The results of the blood tests revealed that insulin levels were the
highest after the bland meals - the lowest levels of insulin was
recorded after the spice-enriched feasts.
Furthermore, a higher level of insulin clearance was observed
in those eating the spicy meals.
The specific mechanism responsible for this significant health
benefit remains unidentified, but that should not deter anyone from
spicing up their diet.

Sugar & Spice
Serving up chili-spiced meals on a regular basis can do more than
tickle your palate, according to a new study out of Australia. The capsaicin-rich
spice appears to lower blood glucose and insulin levels, which bodes
well for anyone facing the specter of Type 2 Diabetes.
In the study, a group of volunteers ate a bland diet for four weeks
before switching over to a diet that was supplemented with condiments
containing 55% cayenne chili. Blood tests revealed that the highest
insulin levels occurred after the bland meals, and the lowest after
the chili feast. Those eating the spicy meals also showed a higher level
of insulin clearance.
The exact mechanism for this activity remains unidentified, but that
shouldn't deter anyone from spicing up their diet.
