Anytime
you can treat, prevent, or even eliminate a common modern medical
problem with food or herbs, it’s exciting. Largely because we are so
bombarded with toxic formulas for everything form a skinned knee to an

One of the latest studies affirming the benefits of the
easily-found ginger root indicates it may only take about a
quarter-teaspoon of the food each day to significantly reduce

The
American Diabetes Association
estimates some 25.8 million U.S. adults and children have type 2
diabetes. That’s 8.3% of the population. It’s the leading cause of
kidney failure, increases your risk of heart disease and blindness, and
is one of the most common causes of limb amputation. Most important of

adherence to diet.
The latest study, published in the
International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition,
sought to examine the effects of ginger consumption on lipid profile,
glycemic status, and inflammatory markers associated with type 2
diabetes.
The
double-blind, placebo controlled study involved 70 type-2 diabetes
enrolled for 12 weeks either in a ginger group or the control group.
Each day, one group received 1600 mg of ginger, the equivalent of
approximately ¼ of a teaspoon.
