Description
Led by Hapsari Sulistya Kusuma, a 2026 review pools animal studies on sweet potato and blood sugar control. The team searched four databases for lab studies in rats and mice with obesity or insulin resistance. They tracked fasting glucose, cholesterol, and blood fats in 10 studies with 428 animals in total.
Sweet potato lowered fasting blood sugar and total cholesterol in the pooled results. It also lowered blood fats and harmful LDL cholesterol, while raising helpful HDL cholesterol. Both leaf and root extracts showed these effects. The authors say the plant may work as a healthy food aid, though all evidence here comes from animals, not people.
