In this study, researchers from San Diego State University looked at whether snacking on dried plums can reduce, even prevent, risk factors for chronic disease in relation to refined carbohydrate snacks. Their findings were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
In sum, dried plums can reduce postprandial insulinemia and improve nutrient consumption, both of which can significantly reduce chronic disease risk.
