Interesting: D-Allulose Promotes Fat Loss - Not Compared to Sugar, but Compared to Non-Caloric Sweeteners

Written by | published on

The reduction in belly fat was significant - in the absence of dieting and compared to another zero-calorie sweetener, that is. D-Allulose is one of those purported weight loss agents with an impressive research record from rodent studies. Now, a recent human trial suggests: it may work in overweight men and women, too. With it being one of the newer sugar substitutes, you may not be familiar with d-allulose (also called d-psicose ). So, here's the gist: It's the C-3 epimer of d-fructose, has (only) 70% of the sweetness of sucrose and ZERO calories (well, almost) ... ah, and did I say that it's rarely found in nature.

Carrots and blueberries - superfoods you cannot ruin by grinding, blending and even the falsely depreciated use of the microwave oven. Cooking / Food-Processing Done Right: 5 Things to Remember to Make the Most of the Antioxidant Prowess of Your Foods Cooking or the preparation of food (food processing at home) is something I would love to address more often. Unfortunately, studies such as Boyan­ Gao's recently published paper in "Food Science & Nutrition" are truly rare. In said paper, the Chinese scientists followed up on recent studies that indicate that different food preparation methods could significantly change the chemical profiles and bioactivities including the antioxidant and real-world anti-inflammatory activity of (super-)foods.

All About Almonds: Effect of Processing on Energy, Macro-, Micro- & Phytonutrient Content, Quality + (Bio-)Availability

Written by | published on

I guess you won't be surprised to hear about advantages of raw almonds, but what about the skin...? In view of the repeatedly resurfacing hype around almonds, I probably don't have to tell you that the oval nutlike seed (kernel) of the almond tree, which grows in a woody shell is another of the infamous superfoods. Now, this alone wouldn't be reason enough for almonds to make it into the SuppVersity   News , again (!); rather than hype, it's their phytochemicals and nutrient content of which several lines of experimental and epidemiological research suggest that they have positive health benefits in relation to heart disease, diabetes and obesity . What should be obvious, though, is that these benefits will be observed only if these precious phyto- and micronutrients are (a) retained upon processing / mastication and (b) digested and absorbed during the digestion process.

Processed Meat is Bad for You, But Only if You Are Already a Type II Diabetic - Reduced Satiety Hormones, Vitamin C and Glucose Control After Veggie vs. Meat Burger

Written by | published on

Is your love for meat going to kill you? Not if you're not already a walking candy stick with sugar coated ateries and a beer belly. I am pretty sure that the mainstream interpretation of the study at hand will be missing the important "but only if you ARE ALREADY a type II diabetic" in the headline of today's SuppVersity article. Meat bashing and vegetarian protein worshiping is simply too "en vogue" these days for the average "science journalist" to stick to the actual data and tell you that the ingestion of isoenergetic processed meat vs. vegan high carbohydrate meals leaves only one conclusion: For healthy individuals, processed fatty meals produce a much more favorable postprandial peptide response compared to the "allegedly super healthy" (and morally superior ;-) acetic vegetarian plant-based burger meal (a couscous burger: boiled couscous, baked with onion, garlic, plant oil, spices, oat-flakes in a wheat bun with sesame se...
