Sea cucumber—an exotic marine delicacy popular in Asian countries—can prevent diabetes, according to a study by the University of South Australia (UniSA) in collaboration with Fiji National University and the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Examining the medicinal properties of sea cucumbers, the researchers discovered that a dried version of the delicacy combined with salt extracts can suppress a compound associated with an increased risk of diabetes, thus lowering the risk of the disease.
