Bitter melon literally tastes like aspirin. The harder question is why do people love the stuff? I don't know. The Chinese believe that it has medicinal properties. It does seem to have a positive effect on blood glucose levels. |

It does seem to have a positive effect on blood glucose levels. Maybe they can put it in pill form. People already take garlic, ginger, turmeric etc pills. Why not bitter melon. -- Bruce |

I don't eat bitter melon because it has an effect on blood glucose levels - that's not real important to me. https://photos.app.goo.gl/uw1QJj6Pc5qwtPfv5 |

And lo and behold, it already exists. -- Bruce |
