By restricting sugar for 10 days, the numerical value which is an indicator of metabolism and diabetes improves dramatically

Excessive intake of sugar is considered to be one of causes of diabetes and metabolic syndrome, but limiting consumption of sugar for only 10 days can also be a diagnostic criterion for diabetes and metabolic syndrome such as cholesterol level, blood pressure, blood insulin concentration Experiments have shown that the numerical value of the index is improved.

Experiments were conducted for children with high sugar consuming sugar 15% or more, fructose 5% or more among children of Latin American and African Americans with one meal. Subjects are 8 to 18 years of age and show degree of obesityBody Mass Index(BMI) has a Z value of 1.8 or more, 43 children with at least one symptom of metabolic syndrome are recognized.

The research team replaced the "food containing carbohydrates" of the meal ingested by the subject with "a menu containing a starch with a carbohydrate content of 10% or less", and asked the subject to consume for 10 days, and the daily health condition Measure. We do not touch the protein and fat contained in the diet you eat, reduce only the carbohydrate, adjust the calorie intake to about the same amount as the meals eaten by the children, affect the body weight That is why I investigated what happens only by limiting sugar intake.

We measured the health condition of subjects after the experiment and it was confirmed that great improvements were made despite the short period of 10 days. Subject's LDL cholesterol level decreased by 10 points on average, and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 5 points on average. It is the main component of fatTriacylglycerolIt turned out that what was reduced by 33 points. In addition, the blood insulin concentration as an indicator of the risk of developing diabetes was also confirmed to decrease.

Dr. Frank Hu of Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, who is not involved in the experiment said, "The results of this experiment greatly improved the reliability of data showing the relationship between sugar intake and metabolic syndrome, which have been found so far I rated it. " According to Dr. Robert Lustig of the University of California, who led the experiment, "This experiment can improve the health level of children with metabolic syndrome without limiting the sugar by only 10 days without affecting calorie intake or weight, It is a very important result from the viewpoint of clinical and health care.
