Facts provided by the US researchers in the Journal of Food Biochemistry claims that the bioavailability of nutrients for a diabetic diet comes from a combination of soy yogurt and fruits, which is apparently rich with phenols and polyphenols.
Through the Soy Yogurt, the research claims to provide sweet snacking alternatives to the diabetes patients along with tapping the antioxidant capacities of the ingredients in soy yogurt to affect enzymes like ACE, alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase.
As per earlier studies ACE inhibitors work better than the antioxidants in controlling diabetes and hypertension, by inhibiting the activity of Angiotensin II. As the research targets cheap treatment of diabetes using traditional diet of soy yogurt, adding an edge of alternate snacking, it can be considered for diabetes and heart patients as a vital part of their diet.
The flexibility of soy yogurt allows the dairy manufacturers to think on the lines of merging real fruits with soy yogurt to lure a major section of American diners, who are sustaining themselves on restrictive diets, with hardly any option for healthy indulgence in the market.
