It reduces inflammation in the body, also limiting the incidence of heart disease. In a study done at Purdue University, sweet almond oil was proven to regulate blood sugar levels when eaten at breakfast.
Another trial conducted at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto suggested that almonds (including the oil), combined with carbohydrate foods with a high glycemic index, may actually decrease the glycemic level of an overall meal. This helps regulate blood sugar levels for those those with insulin resistance or at risk for diabetes.
