Due to increasing levels of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, issues were raised regarding the control of sugar like a cigarette is being controlled.
It was the first time that fructose was found to be produced in the brain from glucose. The study was seen to be particularly relevant to patients suffering from diabetes and obesity.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but it may not do much help you put the fork down. In a new study scientists have found why you may feel emptiness in your stomach even after eating a fruit salad.
When it comes to the sugars that we eat, would you believe that our bodies may respond more positively to some rather than others? It’s a pretty simple assumption that our bodies may respond differently to each sugar we ingest, but it turns out that the physiological responses and mental associations made are far more complex than even researchers in neurobiology could have ever assumed. In a new study published this week in the journal PNAS, researchers with the University of Southern California investigated appetite responses and food choices with regards to ingestion of fructose versus glucose. And what the researchers found was that fructose was far more likely to be dangerous to your diet.
Need to check your blood-sugar level? Soon, there will be an app for that. Doctors and other caregivers will soon be able to track blood-sugar levels in diabetic patients by simply using an app on their smartphone.
