and here's the contrary evidence.....as always, of course!

“The university press release claims that adding wrinkled peas to foods could reduce diabetes risk. There is no evidence from randomized controlled trials that lowering postprandial blood sugar reduces risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Good grief, you would have to eat an awful lot of wrinkled peas to reduce your risk of T2. In any event, many beans contain those complex starches in higher amount. Whoever carried out the study must have shares in Bachelors.

Might cheer up the Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas enthusiasts, mind.
