Sugarcane benefits heart health
An Australian study has shown that sugarcane extract, rich in polyphenols, can reduce levels of certain types of cholesterol and fats in the blood, such as VLDL and triglycerides, thereby lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. The six-month study involved 47 volunteers aged between 18 and 55 years, and the results indicated that the extract can alter gut bacteria and may improve metabolic processes, though it did not affect body weight, blood sugar levels, or inflammation. These findings suggest the potential use of sugarcane as a supplementary measure for heart disease prevention, while emphasizing that traditional medications should not be overlooked.
