This Weird Fruit Cures Type 2 Diabetes

Australian researchers have just discovered that one rare tropical fruit can considerably lower blood sugar of diabetics and prediabetics, even to the point where people with full-blown diabetes can reverse their condition.

And with the beauty of today’s shipping industry, you should be able to find this rare fruit in your local health food store.

Plus, 30 grams is all you need.

Do you know what a jackfruit is? Neither do most other people.

The tree from which the fruit inherits its name primarily grows in South and Southeast Asia, and many of those indigenous communities have used it to improve energy and lower blood sugar for decades.

It is a large fruit with a sweet taste and is high in vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin B1, magnesium, potassium, fiber, and protein.

The government of the Indian state of Kerala and the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation, an institution that promotes the use of jackfruit, recently asked the Sydney University’s Glycemic Index Research Service to study the effects of unripe jackfruit on blood sugar levels.

Why unripe jackfruit?

Dried jackfruit is the most common form in which this fruit is exported to the rest of the world.

After feeding their subjects different amounts of the dried fruit daily, the researchers concluded that 30 grams (just over an ounce) per day lowers blood sugar and overcome weight gain problems.

The glycemic load, which refers to the amount of glucose (sugar) that it dumps in the bloodstream after consumption, is almost half of that of rice or wheat.

If you are an insulin-taking diabetic and want to try it, just remember to inject yourself with a smaller-than-normal insulin dose (or no insulin at all) after a meal, just in case it works as the Sydney researchers seemed to have concluded. Taking your normal insulin dose on top of blood sugar that is already dropping will cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) from which you can become unconscious. And in any doubt, consult your doctor first.

What are the most common uses of unripe jackfruit?

You can buy it in dried, frozen, or canned form. When canned in brine, it is usually unripe, while the products canned in syrup are sweet and ripe and used in ice-cream, sweets, desserts, and so forth.

• Vegans use the brine-canned products as a meat substitute because of its chicken -like texture. It works anywhere where you normally use chicken, fish, pork, or beef.
• Mash them with potatoes, onions, and herbs, roll them into balls or burgers, and bake them in the oven.
• Its sweetness makes it a good addition to curry and chili dishes.
• You can pan fry or grill it to add to pasta, pizza, or vegetable stew.
• You can cook and turn it into sauces or salad dressings.

But even if jackfruit lowers blood sugar level, it may not be enough to completely reverse type 2 diabetes, for that you need to follow the 3-step strategy found here…
