Can purple carrots fight diabetes? a small study investigates

NCT ID NCT05319548

Summary

This study aimed to understand how eating carrots of different colors (red, purple-red, and purple) affects the body's absorption of their natural pigments. Researchers also wanted to see if these pigments might help control blood sugar. Twelve healthy adults drank juices from the different carrots over several weeks while their blood was tested for nutrients and blood sugar markers.
