DIET DRINKS ROLE IN REDUCING DIABETES

Type 2 diabetes is a scourge of modern society. Now new research has shown that it can be reversed merely by changing one’s diet. Maybe not for everyone, but possibly for a majority. The diet recommended allows for no more than 600 calories a day from “liquid diet drinks and non-starchy vegetables” for two months. This can reportedly both remove fat from the pancreas and restore its normal working. In early stage clinical trials by Newcastle University on behalf of Diabetes UK, it worked for 7 out of 11 people. Admittedly a tiny sample, but immensely encouraging nevertheless.
