Researchers tested birch bolete mushrooms (Leccinum scabrum) for diabetes-fighting properties. They found that extracts from this edible mushroom were exceptionally effective at blocking enzymes that break down carbohydrates, potentially helping control blood sugar levels. The study identified key beneficial compounds including healthy fats and plant alkaloids, suggesting the mushroom could become a functional food or dietary supplement for managing type-2 diabetes.
