Pretty unbelievable but the science says it is true.
According to a study from the American Chemical Society the sugar find in the plant that is used for making tequila could help in lowering blood glucose.
And this is more for the people with diabetes type 2.
But this need more researching and the researchers are willing to take as well other proofs.
But until that day come, let see what kind of benefits we gained so far:
The plant that is used for producing tequila is named agave plant, and the sugar find in it is agavins. According to the study the sugar is non-digestible and that’s why like a dietary fiber acts.
This plant has the ability to lower the level of glucose.
According to Dr. Mercedes G. Lopez, one of the head researchers, while the agavins reduces the glucose level and increase *GLP-1, it also increases the amount of insulin.
*GLP-1 is a hormone that stimulates the production of insulin and slows down the emptying of the stomach.
According to Lopez agavins is not expensive, many people can afford it the right matter is to tolerate them.
He testing was done on lab mice.
All of the mice were fed with a standard diet. The scientists have added agavins to the water. The research after that revealed that the mice who consumed agavins ate less than the others.
Plus, they had lower blood glucose levels.
But just wait for another study to confirm the fact and to prove the effect on people.
If you still decide to take shot, chose tequila and keep in mind to be only ONE. Do not overdrink it!!!
