Chocolate? Coffee? Diet Rich in Polyphenols Improves Glucose Metabolism
A diet rich in polyphenols, one that includes dark chocolate, green tea, coffee, and extra virgin olive oil, among other foods, significantly improved glucose metabolism in individuals at high risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, a new study shows.
Lead investigator Dr Lutgardo Bozzetto (University of Naples Federico II, Italy), who presented the results at the European Atherosclerosis Society 2014 Congress (EAS 2014), said that the foods selected for polyphenol content come from a variety of sources and the diet is one that patients found relatively easy to maintain.
“It’s a diet that is realistic for these high-risk patients”
