New Sugar May Prevent Heart Disease, University of Melbourne Study
A new type of sugar that includes selenium could help prevent heart disease by shutting down tissue-damaging acids, researchers say. “Mary Poppins was right in saying: a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Although these compounds are not the kind of sugar most people would buy as a Valentine’s Day gift, we are still very excited by their potential to maintain a healthy heart,” says Corin Storkey, who made the discovery while studying at the University of Melbourne.
