Eating coriander can reduce the risk of diabetes because it helps control blood sugar levels. Dr. Divya Dhawan, Apollo Specialty Hospital (India) said: "Many studies have confirmed that coriander leaves contain many active enzymes that help control blood glucose levels by removing sugar from the blood. Therefore, eating coriander, especially the stem, can help control diabetes."
