Soaking your brown rice is good for your diabetes

Soak your brown rice and eat it up! Researchers have found that a compound that is beneficial among brown rice consumption among diabetics is triggered to activate again after being submerged in water.

Up to now we knew that brown rice was good for diabetics but did not understand exactly how and why this process took place.

Germinated brown rice’s ability to help diabetics lower their blood sugar has been shown but how it works remained unknown. 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.

Knowing this will allow us to manufacture this compound and sell it as such in order to benefit even more diabetics. Personally I love brown rice- but for those that do not this is a welcome addition of supplements- I would suppose!
