Is your protein bar or flavoured yogurt raising your blood sugar? | Health and Wellness News

Is your protein bar or flavoured yogurt raising your blood sugar? | Health and Wellness News

Are you having plant-based milk, flavoured yogurt or the low-fat mayonnaise, thinking they are healthy? Or taking diet supplements, protein bars and protein shakes? They could be raising your blood sugar. Anything that comes in a wrapper or packet, or something that’s dried, has added preservatives to make it last longer. All of them have emulsifiers, compounds that help mix two substances that typically separate when they are combined (for example oil and water) and are used to improve the appearance, taste, texture and lengthen shelf life of food. Examples of processed foods that contain chemical emulsifiers are commercially available cakes, biscuits, desserts, ice creams, chocolate bars, breads, and ready-to-eat meals. How can emulsifiers increase the risk for diabetes? Recent experimental studies have shown that emulsifiers modify the composition and function of the gut microbiota (micro-organisms, including bacteria, fungi and viruses that live in the digestive tracts). They then enter the gut lining, a mucus layer that keeps them away from the host cells, and cause inflammation. This leads to insulin resistance. This year’s study …
