- Sweet potato leaves have strong antioxidant properties, showing high radical scavenging activity and prolonging the oxidation lag time of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in lab tests.
- The study found a significant correlation between the high total polyphenol content in sweet potato leaves and their effectiveness in preventing LDL oxidation.
- In human trials, consuming raw "Suioh" sweet potato leaves led to extended lag time before LDL oxidation started and reduced LDL mobility, further confirming their potential health benefits.
