Harvard scientists have discovered a chemical in bear bile that may slow the development of type 1 diabetes, according to a study in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The bitter, yellow-green liquid drained from the innards of a bear is a common ingredient in many traditional Chinese medicines. Stored in the gallbladder of a black bear, bile is thought to cure everything from liver disease to epilepsy. It?s so precious that it costs about half as much as gold, said Gokhan Hotamisligil, a geneticist at Harvard University School of Public Health and a co-author of the study.
