It is a good piece of information,but there is one precaution which must be observed.Methi has a chemical

in it ,saponin, which can cause corrosion of mucus lining in mouth and intestines. Excessive use of methi

may increase caritinin level and has a potential to harm kidneys .Ingesting dry methi seeds may be

harmful.

It is not intended to scare people but only a note to be careful.

Top Seed: All about fenugreek (methi) seeds

Fenugreek seeds are rich in fibre (50 per cent). The dietary fibre fraction of fenugreek seeds also exerts anti-

diabetic effects through inhibition of carbohydrate digestion and absorption, and enhancement of peripheral

insulin action. The seeds also contain trigonelline, a component known to reduce blood sugar levels. It is

reported that drug requirement for type 2 diabetes mellitus may decrease significantly with the use of methi.

However, that does not mean that diabetics can stop medication straightaway, if they take methi. The

optimal doses of the medication can be worked out in consultation with the physician.

Fenugreek seed powder lowers the levels of serum lipids by inhibiting cholesterol absorption and synthesis. A

study reported that phytochemicals called saponins present in methi have cancer preventive properties. A

branched chain amino-acid in the seeds is known to reduce insulin resistance, levels of triglycerides and total

cholesterol. All these properties may help in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, central obesity and

dyslipidemia (an excess of lipids like cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood).
