Sweet Protein Brazzein May Help Lower Post-Meal Blood Sugar

A new study suggests the natural protein brazzein, found in the West African oubli plant, could reduce blood sugar spikes after meals. Participants with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, especially those with type 2 diabetes, showed lower post-meal blood sugar levels when consuming brazzein-sweetened ice cream. This research highlights a potential dietary intervention for managing blood sugar.
