Gut Bugs Determine Health Benefits of Sourdough Whole-Grain Bread | Glycemia Improves W/ White Bread in Some!

Written by | published on

Yes, white bread can be the healthier choice. Whether your post-prandial glycemic response will improve or deteriorate with white vs. whole-grain sourdough bread appears to be fully dependent on your gut bugs. Even though it has gotten a bad rep over the past 20 years, bread is (still?) consumed daily by billions of people, worldwide. I guess that's also because the scientific evidence of which the Internet gurus will tell you that it would "prove that bread is the devil" is by no means unambiguous. It was thus high time for scientists to perform a randomized crossover trial like the one by Talk Korem and colleagues from the Weizmann Institute of Science  - a study that used data from two 1-week-long dietary interventions comprising consumption of either traditionally made sourdough-leavened whole-grain bread or industrially made white bread.

Gluten Research Update: Cesarean Section, Breast Feeding, Noocebo Effects and the ‘Right’ & ‘Wrong’ Bacterial ‘Poop’

As read on the SV Facebook : Baking makes gluten resilient to digestion, the presence of protein does the opposite. The food matrix makes the difference. In view of the fact that "gluten" is or isn't (literally) in everyone's mouth or tummy, I thought that it may make sense to keep you up-to-date on the latest interesting  research in the area of non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. Don't worry I am not going to bother you with the typical Internet bogus about how cancer, obesity and everything else we are or are not suffering from (yet) is triggered by gluten. What I will do, though, is to summarize and discuss the results of two recent studies and one review on the connection between our microbiome and our very individual susceptibility to gluten-related health problems You can learn more about the gut & your health at the SuppVersity Fiber for Female Fat Loss Sweeteners & Your Gut Foods, Not Ma- cros for the Gut Lactu...

Foods in the Limelight: Blueberry Smoothies, Egg Protein & 'Healthy Eating' | Plus: How to Diagnose Gluten Sensitivity?

Yes, blueberry smoothies are heart healthier than those without blueberries, but can't replace blood pressure meds. In today's installment of the SuppVersity  short news we will take a look at a bunch of recent studies that have been published in the open-source journal Nutrients  in the last months. Some of them deal with foods, others with behavioral aspects that are related to one's diet and its effects on body weight and health. I will try to adapt the length of the summary to the appeal of the article, but if you feel that a specific topic has not been covered "in-depth enough" for your liking, you can always type the title of the study from the references into google and take a closer look, yourself.

The Gluten Solution: Aspergillus Niger-Derived Enzyme May Make "Gluten-Free" Redundant - Enzyme Supplementation Reduces the Amount of Gliadin in the Duodenum by 80-90%

Written by | published on

Can a pill simulate "gluten-free"? The problem with gluten (if there is one, after all we are not  all suffering from coeliac disease) is that its proline-peptides cannot be digested by any of the enzymes in the human intestinal tract. Therefore, the long proline-rich gluten peptides reach the small intestine intact after ingestion where they are the driving motors of coeliac disease in 1% of the population, in whom the specific amino acid sequences of such poorly digested proline-rich gluten peptides triggers an abnormal immune response. More recently, though, studies have shown that less pronounced adverse reactions to gluten consumption can occur even in subjects who don't suffer from coeliac disease. As Salden et al. point out, "[p]resently non-coeliac gluten sensitivity has been clinically recognised as a separate condition in which neither allergic nor autoimmune mechanisms are involved" (Salden. 2015). Accordingly, the results of the latest study f...

Khorasan, a "Paleo Wheat" That Could Improve Our Heart Health? Study Shows Sign. Improvements in Inflammation, Glucose & Lipid Metabolism vs. Regular Wheat Products

Regular wheat (left) and khorasan (right) look almost alike, well, if we go by the reputation of "lighter = unhealthier", the healthy "paleo wheat" would actually look like the worse choice, but studies show, it is the exact opposite. You all know that cardiovascular Disease (CVD) causes approximately one-third of all deaths globally in both developed and developing countries. In fact, coronary Heart Disease is the largest contributor of CVD, and encompasses Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), which is an acute pathology associated with atherosclerotic plaque rupture and interruption of coronary blood to myocardial tissue. As Whittaker et al. point out in the prelude to their latest article in the Open Access journal nutrients,  patients with ACS are at particularly high risk of both fatal and non-fatal recurrent cardiovascular events despite stringent medical therapies (Whittaker. 2015).
