Improved blood sugar regulation has been
a long-standing area of interest in research
on strawberries and health. However,
scientists have recently discovered a
fascinating relationship between intake of
strawberries, table sugar, and blood sugar
levels.

As you might expect, excess intake of table
sugar (in a serving size of 5-6 teaspoons)
can result in an unwanted blood sugar spike.
But you might not expect this blood sugar
spike to be reduced by simultaneous
consumption of strawberries!

Yet that's exactly what researchers
have discovered. With the equivalent of
approximately one cup of fresh strawberries
(approximately 150 grams), blood sugar
elevations from simple sugar intake can be
