Coriander Controls Blood Sugar and Cholesterol
Recent research studies (though still
on animals) have confirmed all three of these healing effects.
When coriander
was added to the diet of diabetic mice, it helped stimulate their secretion of
insulin and lowered their blood sugar. When given to rats, coriander reduced
the amount of damaged fats
(lipid peroxides) in their cell membranes. And when
given to rats fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, coriander lowered levels
of total and LDL (the "bad" cholesterol), while actually increasing
levels of HDL (the "good" cholesterol). Research also suggests that
the volatile oils found in the leaves of the coriander plant, commonly known as
cilantro, may have antimicrobial properties.
