  • The trial involved participants eating soups containing either cruciferous vegetables or rootsquash over two separate two-week periods, with measurements of their blood glucose levels taken throughout.
  • Results showed that consuming cruciferous vegetables reduced glycaemic variability and post-meal blood glucose levels, particularly after dinner, indicating an improvement in glycaemic control.]
