Later tests revealed that the reading went down from 14 to 2. She also said the coco sugar will soon be used as substitute for Viagra becaus of the high glutamic acid content.
She said that the initial study was conducted while she and her group were waiting for the result of the glycemic index test on coconut sugar. Already there are plans of buying 20 tons of coconut sugar.
Dr. Trinidad P. Trinidad, Scientist II of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute - Department of Science and Technology. in the same press conference, suggested that other components of the coco sugar should be further studied.
