Integrating Phytochemical Bioactivity and Glycemic Risk to Evaluate Fruits for Type 2 Diabetes Management: A Korean Market Perspective

This study presents a structured, computation-driven framework capable of integrating phytochemical potency and nutritional risk into a unified metric for dietary evaluation. Despite higher sugar content, fruits rich in potent polyphenols may confer substantial metabolic benefit when consumed judiciously. These findings challenge sugar-centric dietary models and provide an evidence-based tool for consumer-level guidance in T2DM dietary management.
