Muscat: A study from Monash University in Australia: found that polyphenol-rich sugarcane extract may improve blood lipid levels, reducing triglycerides and VLDL, while also positively affecting gut bacteria. According to Oman News Agency, researchers emphasized that the early findings do not suggest that sugarcane extract can replace cholesterol-lowering medications. They highlighted that further research is necessary to confirm the long-term benefits of these findings. The study advances research on plant compounds, particularly polyphenols, and their potential role in regulating lipid metabolism and supporting cardiovascular health. The sugarcane extract used in these studies is neither white sugar nor conventional sugarcane juice but a highly concentrated substance extracted through complex biochemical processes from parts of the plant and its by-products, such as molasses. During the process, the sugars were completely removed, leaving only the active plant compounds.
