Blackcurrant and citrus extracts might help prevent type 2 diabetes
A team of European researchers has looked into the role of blackcurrant extracts in reducing blood sugar or glycemic levels after meals and investigated whether fruit fiber can enhance this effect. Their results indicate that while blackcurrant reduces glycemic levels immediately after meals, higher doses are no more effective than lower doses, and fruit fibers do not augment the effect.
