Dark soja sauce good for health

---

Omschrijving
Dark soja sauce is better than vitamine C and red wine according to researchers of the university of Singapore.Volunteers who ate rice with dark soya sauce had free radical damage cut by 15 per cent over six hours after eating it, compared to those who ate rice with food colouring only. Between three and four hours after the meal, when the antioxidant effect reached its peak, damage was cut by 20 per cent. Those who ate rice with dark soya sauce also experienced increase in blood flow by 10 per cent over six hours. Between three and four hours after consumption, blood flow increased by as much as 50 per cent.

The findings were published in the international journal, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications. Said Professor Barry Halliwell, Deputy President (Research and Technology) and Head, Department of Biochemistry: “We are impressed that dark soya sauce slows down free radical damage in young healthy people. There’s a preventive aspect, showing that it may potentially slow down the rate of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.”

Next, the researchers are isolating the exact compounds in the sauce that are responsible for the antioxidant effect. Researchers would also need to ascertain whether long-term consumption of dark soya sauce will prolong its oxidising effect in the body, said Professor Halliwell.
