Written by | published on

Will the additional butter on top of the potatoes reduce the insulin response? You can find the answer to this and the other questions in today's episode of "True or False?" If you are a regular here at the SuppVersity you should by now recognize the "True or False" part of the headline of today's SuppVersity article. Therefore it's probably unnecessary to say this explicitly, but this is a new series, where I could use a little help from your side. Well, ... I should say, I believe it would become even more fun, if you lend me a hand and send me short pieces of wisdom or idiocy like "Adding fat to a carby meal reduces the insulin response"  you deem worthy of being addressed in the True or False series. I cannot, or rather will not promise that I will address each and every of your suggestions, but if it interests me and can be tackled in a 2-3 paragraph text, your chances ain't bad to get your suggestions dealt with - if you got ...

Image 1: Rat & guinea pig. Both very popular animal models. Both about the same size and weight, but with very different reactions to identical treatments. I won't waste too many words on this being a new series on the SuppVersity , I suppose the name "Ask Dr. Andro" is self-explanatory. It is based on questions posted in the comment section that are relevant for the majority of the visitors and require and deserve a more sophisticated response. So, if you want your question answered, learn a lesson from "Learner" who posted the following question in the comment section of " Spicing Up Fat Loss: Structural Similarity to Melanocortin-4 Agonists Powers Piperine's (Black Pepper Extract) Fat Loss and Lipid Lowering Effects ". Question from "Learner" : Why is the mg/kg dosing ratio different for humans than rats, and does that vary by the agent? Answer from Dr. Andro : Most of what we know about the effects of (new) drugs, ...
