Pre-soaked Brown Rice Reported to Reduce Nerve and Vascular Damage of Diabetes
Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia, have found that a compound that helps rice seed grow,
springs back into action when brown rice is placed in water overnight
before cooking, significantly reducing the nerve and vascular damage
that often result from diabetes.
Germinated brown rice's ability to help diabetics lower their blood
sugar has been shown but how it works remained a mystery. New research,
published online in the Journal of Lipid Research, shows the growth
factor acylated steryl glucosides or ASG, helps normalize blood sugar
and enzymes that are out-of-whack in diabetes.
