SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone

I guess that would qualify as a "variation of the paleo diet", as well.  No, this is not an advertisement for a diet book. In fact, the "variation" of the paleo diet the Canadian + US researchers used doesn't even require a cookbook, because it's as simple as "consisting of meat and vegetables, three times per day for three to five months" and "whole low glycemic fruit and nuts or seeds" as snacks between the meals  (Christensen 2017). That I still expect some people to call the study "shady", though, is the use of Apex dietary supplements in those of the subjects with a predetermined micronutrient deficiency (I wouldn't mind that - what I do mind, though, is that the scientists do not explicitly declare if they received funding by Apex and 'forget' to report 36 of 38 lab values they claim to have tested). As you would expect it from a "paleo diet", dairy was not on the menu Cheese for Your Hea...

Unfortunately, it is not even clear if you need the "white stuff", i.e. pure steviosides, whole leaves of leaf-extracts to maximize the anti-diabetic effects of stevia. What is clear, though, is that there's still a lot of research to be done. "Can Stevia Help You Ward Off Type II Diabetes?" That's not just the title of today's SuppVersity  article, it is also the research question of a recent paper by Esteves A.F. dos Santos from Farmácia Progresso  (dos Santos. 2016). An interesting question with an obvious answer: if you replace  sugar in your diet with stevia, it will help. Now, you know that this would not be worth discussing in a SuppVersity  article of its own. What is  worth discussing, though, is that stevia contains "compounds and other substance obtained from stevioside hydrolyses" (dos Santos. 2016) such as isoteviol  of which studies show that they can be used as 'active' diabetes treatments - meaning: they help, eve...

If gaining body fat triggers T2DM, is is not surprising that losing it, cures it. From the SuppVersity   Facebook News  you will remember that studies have shown that type II diabetes can be send into remission with "nothing" but a very low energy diet (Steven. 2015). The question scientists still had to answer, though, was whether the astonishing improvements in glycemia and overall health could be maintained on an energy-sufficient diet. In a newstudy from the Newcastle University scientists did now try to confirm just that by combining an 8-week dieting phase with a stepped return to isocaloric diet based on a structured, individualized (isocaloric) program of weight maintenance.
