The effects of strawberries on insulin sensitivity and cholesterol offer promising directions for scientific study, according to Britt Burton-Freeman, director of the Center for Nutrition Research at Chicago-based Illinois Institute of Technology.
?We are recruiting people in the clinic who have lost sensitivity to insulin, which usually means they?re on the way to diabetes,? said Burton-Freeman, who is also an associate research nutritionist at the University of California-Davis.
?We?re looking at whether strawberries can help improve the cell?s ability to recognize insulin and be able to take up glucose.?
Without that sensitivity, the pancreas keeps producing insulin until it wears down and diabetes sets in.
