Could this MISUNDERSTOOD ‘grass trick’ SWEEP AWAY blood sugar woes?

If your blood sugar isn’t PERFECT…

No matter WHEN you measure it… or WHAT you have or haven’t eaten…

There might be something going on with the way your body metabolizes glucose.

After all, if type 2 diabetes were just about EATING too much sugar…

You could CURE it just by cutting out the cookies and cake!

But it’s NOT that simple…

And you shouldn’t have to DEPRIVE yourself of every bite that might spike your numbers.

Fortunately, there’s a way to BLOCK excess sugar from getting into your bloodstream…

And the latest science has just discovered yet another natural source of this CARB-SHREDDING mechanism.

How an INDESTRUCTIBLE weed could protect YOU

Ask anyone in the Southeastern U.S. about a hairy-looking plant called broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus)…

And you might hear some foul language that can’t be repeated here.

That’s because this hardy type of grass is practically IMMORTAL…

DEFYING any attempts to kill it by herbicide or even fire.

And it grows like a weed!

But this native plant is truly UNDERAPPRECIATED…

Because as it turns out, its value could go WAY beyond making brooms!

Because a brand-new study out of Japan has found that broomsedge is PACKED with antioxidants called flavonoids.

Those compounds give broomsedge the potential for SUPERPOWERS…

Which, the researchers found, means NEUTRALIZING free radicals and EXTINGUISHING inflammation to protect cells from damage.

That could have LOTS of implications for inflammatory conditions related to oxidative damage…

Like aging and even cancer.

When it comes to type 2 diabetes, turns out broomsedge BLOCKS the metabolism of carbs… so they DON’T get converted into sugar… 

By INHIBITING an enzyme called alpha-amylase.

This mechanism ISN’T new.

In fact, you’ve read about another alpha-amylase inhibitor… called caigua… right here in eAlert.

But the medicinal value of broomsedge in particular IS a groundbreaking discovery – at least to the mainstream.

… especially those centered around Virginia, where broomsedge gets its scientific name from… used it as part of their traditional medicine.

And there’s some evidence of its use in Appalachian folk medicine, too.

But you won’t find broomsedge in the supplement aisle just yet…

And I wouldn’t go foraging for it in the wild, either.

Stay tuned right here to eAlert, where I’ll be keeping my eye on this one… and reporting back any future developments.

In the meantime, another commercially-available alpha-amylase inhibitor… in addition to caigua, which I mentioned earlier… is white bean extract.

Look for a product that lists the alpha amylase inhibiting units (AAIU) on the label.

The higher… the better.

To embracing weedy medicine,
