Why was this study done? A previous study of 20+ year users of multi-supplements (multi vitamin, fish oil, calcium, vitamin D and more, from Shaklee Corp.) can have a big positive impact on health. This study looked into blood sugar control of people from that original study who now have used multiple supplements for 30+ years,…
Why was this study done? Different types of carbohydrates act differently in the body. This study was designed to test the effects of different sugars (glucose, fructose) on blood sugar levels. What did the study find? The study found that consuming a fruit and fructose based meals keep blood sugar lower than those based on…
Why was this study done? Discovering the right mixture of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, fat) in meal replacements to help maintain blood sugar levels is important for blood sugar stabilization and weight loss. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between different levels of macronutrients on blood sugar control. What did the study find? The…
Why was this study done? Determining which components of food lower the glycemic response is important for both good blood sugar control and weight loss. This study was designed to determine which macronutrient (fat or protein) has the most effect on lowering blood sugar response to a carbohydrate meal. What did the study find? This…
Why was this study done? This preliminary study (6 people) was designed to test the effects of a soy-based meal replacement and a 1200-calorie diet on measurements of long-term blood sugar control in diabetics using hemoglobin A-1C (HA-1C) as a measurement of control. What did the study find? Hemoglobin A-1C (HA-1C) improved in 3 of…
Why was this study done? The proper macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate, fat) makeup of a meal is a hotly contested field of research. This study was designed to investigate the effects of a standard carbohydrate meal of approximately 58 grams, consumed along with varying amounts of protein 0, 15.8, 24.1, 33.6, and 49.9 grams to determine…
Why was this study done? Blood sugar control is thought to play an important role in weight management. Chromium is an important factor in normal insulin (one of the hormone responsible for blood sugar control) function. This study was designed to determine the effects of supplementing with chromium picolinate on weight control. What did the…
