BOSTON: Researchers at UOW are testing the short-term effects of Queen Garnet Plum juice on blood pressure and memory in one of the first human trials on the new ‘superfood.’
Queen Garnet Plums, which were accidentally bred by Queensland government scientists a decade ago, are being touted as a potential weapon in the fight against obesity after the plum juice returned obese rats with high blood pressure, fatty livers, poor heart function and arthritis back to normal in just eight weeks. It is now thought Queen Garnet Plums could also be beneficial for people with dementia.
