I drove down Highway 33, past berry Petroleum, Conoco, ExxonMobil, and a host of independents' signs. I took Shale Road down toward the coastal foothills. I was surrounded. You do not know what an oilfield is until you have visited the Midway-Sunset field, and you are driving down Shale Road, and the oil pumps become ever more numerous. I turned off the radio, which was now nothing but static. Grating pumping sounds surrounded my brain like a thousand buzzing wasps. It was what I imagine it would be like being in the midst of a herd of thousands of wildebeests.

Greater power appears to reside in the whole berry, not just in the coffee seed, or bean, which is what remains after the outer layers of the berries are separated out and the beans are roasted. Coffee berries contain polyphenols that have been shown to support healthy blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and to reduce free-radical damage, among other benefits that are especially important for people with insulin resistance and/or diabetes. Many of these benefits are significantly reduced once the berries are harvested, processed, and roasted to make the cup of coffee you enjoy.

In that case, you really have a choice; I decided to include the whole berry on the list since space was limited and the juice isn't as well known. Although the mantra "eat more fruits and vegetables" has been repeated so often it's become a cliche, it's worth pointing out that fruits and vegetables as categories are quite distinct from a blood sugar point of view. If you put a gun to my head and made me choose one of the two categories, it would be no contest: Vegetables are the clear winner.

Here's an interesting fact: Eggplant is considered a fruit, but botanically it's actually a berry. Go figure. It's related to the potato and tomato and is a member of the nightshade family. Like all nightshades, eggplant contains a substance called solanine. In theory, if solanine is not destroyed in the intestine, it could be toxic. This is generally not an issue, but one horticulturalist, Dr. Norman Childers, has hypothesized that some people with osteoarthritis may not be able to destroy solanine in the gut, leading to solanine absorption and aggravating osteoarthritis.

Halle berry, Mikhail Gorbachev, and George Lucas all have diabetes. It's one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, and it's getting more common every day. Diabetes is all about the body's relationship to sugar, specifically the blood sugar known as glucose. Glucose is produced when the body breaks down carbohydrates in the food we eat. It's essential to survival—it provides fuel for the brain; it's required to manufacture proteins; it's what we use to make energy when we need it.

Although ginseng roots are traditionally the part of the plant used in remedies, a 2002 study at the University of Chicago found that an extract of the ginseng berry could be useful in treating diabetes and obesity. When the researchers administered ginseng to an experimental test group with diabetes, the group's blood glucose levels, sensitivity to insulin, cholesterol levels, and weight improved, and appetite decreased. The study's investigators concluded that the chemical makeup of the berries differs from that of the root, yet the berries were very effective in treating diabetes.

Bilberry flavonoids (anthocyanosides) provide numerous benefits in diabetics.

Im cn Tomatoes Botanically speaking, tomatoes are a fruit; technically, they're a berry, and legally, they're a vegetable. No, I'm not making this up.

The red berry ripens in the autumn and is used as a food and medicine. The young leaf is edible and can be cooked in soups as a bitter green. According to the ancient text Shi Shu, written by Lu Ji, eating the fruit and leaf "makes one feel happy and vigorous." The root bark is known as di gu pi and is used to lower fevers and treat arthritis. The seedling of the herb is called gou qi ye, and it is used to make soup. An old saying was to not eat this herb "when traveling thousands of miles away from home." This was because it was a powerful tonic and enhanced sexual desire.

The green, unripe berry is crushed and used as a poultice for ringworm as well as for saddle sores on horses. The Masai use the leaf juice to treat conjunctivitis (pink eye). Modern Uses Most adaptogens are stimulating; ashwagandha is a bit unusual in that it is a calming adaptogen. It enhances endocrine function, especially helping to re-regulate the thyroid, testes, and adrenal glands. Few herbs have a direct effect on thyroid function, but in animal and human studies, ashwagandha root was found to stimulate the thyroid, making it useful for hypothyroidism.
