"Seaweed's Disease-Fighting Potential Unveiled in New Study"
Eating brown seaweed, particularly certain types such as Ecklonia cava, Laminaria digitata, Undaria pinnatifida, Acophyllum nodosum, and Fucus vesiculosus, could be a promising strategy for managing blood glucose levels and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a South Korean study. The research found that seaweed consumption led to significant improvements in post-meal blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and insulin resistance. Higher doses of seaweed showed more benefits, but safety assessments and further research are needed to fully understand its potential and any potential interactions with existing therapies.
