Extended data

Siraitia grosvenorii is a perennial vine of Cucurbitaceae. Mature fruit is rich in cucurbitacin triterpenoid glycosides, and its sweetness is 300 times that of sucrose. It is an ideal sugar substitute for diabetics. Japanese scholars have found that a lot of sweet substances in Siraitia grosvenorii are not glucose, but "terpenoids" and a small amount of fructose. Because the small intestine will not absorb the terpene sugar conjugate, it will only be excluded from the body, so it will naturally not be converted into heat. If used well, it should be the best substitute for sugar, suitable for people who love sweets and want to lose weight or must control sugar intake, especially diabetics. It is also found that Siraitia grosvenorii can strengthen the function of pancreas and help insulin secretion, and the vitamin E contained in it can strengthen the penetration of cell membrane and help insulin secretion, so experts believe that Siraitia grosvenorii is the gospel of diabetic patients and can be called a wonder in fruit.
