Curry Leaf
Hey! guess what? There is some truth in it afterall. Thanks cory! That was fast 
Praise to God, this was what she found;
“There is an enzyme present in our digestive systems which helps breakdown
the starch that we eat in our diet to a simple sugar, glucose. It is called
the pancreatic alpha-amylase enzyme. Recent research has shown that the
curry leaf tree contains special compounds that inhibit this enzyme. This
means that the rate at which starch is broken down by the enzyme can be
slowed.This is potentailly a breakthrough for diabetes sufferers. A patient with
diabetes cannot control the levels of glucose in their blood. This is
usually because they do not produce enough insulin to deal with the rises
in levels of blood glucose that occur after eating a meal or sugary snack.
Slowing the rate of starch breakdown, by blocking the alpha-amylase enzyme,
can lower the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream from the
intestine. This breakthrough could lead to the development of a new drug
for diabetes. This is important because more and more people, especially
young people, are developing diabetes because they are eating food that
contains too much sugar. New drugs which have few side-effects are
constantly being sought. It may not be too long before the curry leaf
emerges as a new a innovative medicine.”
So, my dear curry tree. Grow wild all you want. I’ll never treat you bad. I’ll never cut you bald anymore. I shall & will not pull your baby shoots out like they were irritating weeds. Instead I will love you, water you, talk to you, care for you like i’ve never cared b4 …. cos you are going to serve your master for the longest & till the end of time…*evil laugh*
