Pilot Study of the Effect of Purple Rice on Glucose Tolerance, Serum Lipids and Inflammation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetic

In brief

This is a pilot study to demonstrate the effect of purple rice on post-prandial glucose and insulin. The purple color is due, like red wine grapes, mainly to the anthocyanins. The safety and tolerability of purple rice is similar to white or brown rice, but contains the purple elements common to other foods like grapes.
