A member asked:

Borassus flabellifer or sugar palm fruit ok for diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OK but worthless: Neither will help you, unless you have too much $$ and are trying to waste some. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet. Use proven methods and therapies, like diet, exercise, weight loss and legitimate medication that really does something good for you.
