"Pomegranate Consumption: The Daily Amount to Curb Sugar Spikes Revealed"
A meta-analysis by UCLA researchers published in Science Direct suggests that pomegranates, particularly due to the phytochemical punicalagin, can help manage post-meal blood sugar spikes in people with diabetes. While the fruit shows potential benefits, it should be incorporated into a diabetic diet with caution due to its natural sugar content. Diabetics are generally advised to consume no more than two portions of fruit per day if their condition is controlled, or one portion if it is not. The study also notes that other fruits, like blueberries and local berries such as jamun, may have similar benefits for diabetes management.
