Recent Clinical Trials: Beta Glucans, Blood Sugar Regulation, Weight Loss

A beautiful doctoral research thesis by Hossain (2024) at Lund University, Division of Food and Pharma, investigated with four intervention studies, the effects of beta gluons on blood sugar, weight loss, and of course heart health.

Hossain's research concluded that beta glucans from oats improves postprandial glycemic responses and worked on lowering hunger by increasing the secretion of appetite regulating hormones. 

In fact, only 2g of beta glucans lower the blood glucose peak after a meal, a new discovery that is much lower than most governments around the world are recommending. 

If you have not had a chance to go over a research conducted for part of the doctoral requirements, this is an excellent work by Hossain that was published in 2024. It is lengthy, around 81 page, and if you are in a hurry, a nice summary is found on page 80. Article
