→Importance of Barley in Diabetes
Barley intake significantly reduced serum cholesterol and visceral fat, both accepted markers of cardiovascular risk10. 25 adults with mildly high cholesterol were fed whole grain foods containing 0g, 3g or 6g of barley beta-glucan per day for five weeks, with blood samples taken twice weekly. Total cholesterol and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol significantly decreased with the addition of barley to the diet11. Thus use of barley is very beneficial in diabetes.
