For cancer patients
Miracle fruit benefits cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy as they lose their taste sensation due to the medications used to treat their condition. This side effect only lasts for a few months, but some do not regain their sense of taste afterwards.
In this case, miracle fruit is recommended to help cancer patients improve their taste. However, sweetness is the only flavor they may taste in every food.
For diabetic patients and those who want to lose weight
Some researchers also saw the potential of using miracle fruit as a medical application to end the obesity epidemic. We all know that one of the causes of obesity is the consumption of too many sweets. To address that problem, the miracle fruit can be used as aa replacement for artificial sweeteners due to its low-calorie properties. It can also help the insulin resistance of diabetic people as it can give them a chance to eat or consume sweet foods.
Moreover, the pulp of a miracle fruit benefits more with yogurt. According to a study, the fruit’s pulp has a higher anti-diabetic property than the standard drug for diabetes treatment known as acarbose. The mixture of miracle fruit pulp and yogurt shows much greater benefits.
For those undergoing chemotherapy
On the other hand, the antioxidant property of miracle fruit benefits those who take chemotherapeutic drugs. It can help enhance the effects of medication and also reduce the side effects of the drugs in the patient, including nausea, vomiting, development of abdominal or pelvic tumors, and mutagenesis.
