Mulberry leaf: The silkworm's food is a pharmaceutical-grade blood sugar drug

Mulberry leaf contains 1-deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ), an iminosugar that inhibits alpha-glucosidase, the exact same mechanism as acarbose (Precose/Glucobay), a prescription diabetes drug. Clinical data shows 30%+ post-prandial glucose reduction. The mulberry tree was cultivated for centuries as silkworm feed; the medical application was hiding in the animal agriculture supply chain.Publications of interest:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4014974/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17555327/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18404344/
