"The soluable fiber in prickly pear - a traditional latin american
food -- slows the absorption of glucose from the intestines says Dr. Welliver. Researchers theorize that prickly pear (also known as Nopal cactus) may improve the effectiveness of available insulin in people with type 2 diabetes by stimulating glucose to move to the bloodstream into the body cells. Canned Nopal cactus is available in health food stores and some grocery stores and its safe to enjoy regularly. Eat 1 cup of cactus a day." This is a traditional cure for diabetes in Mexico. |
