Resveratrol
There you go, another one to ponder. Whilst researching the uses fo Gram flour as suitable flour for an alternative pizza base, I came across a young woman, posting on a forum, whose signature said she had lost a lot of weight following the JUDDD diet. I followed a link to that and came across a 'Dr Johnson' praising the fat burning qualities of Resveratrol (his own brand, available exclusively from his site! ) so I did the Wiki bit and this Resveratrol has antidiabetic properties too.
Wiki says;
"Antidiabetic effects
Studies have shown resveratrol possesses hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects in both streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes rats and STZ-nicotinamide-induced diabetes rats. Resveratrol ameliorates common diabetes symptoms, such as polyphagia, polydipsia, and body weight loss.[68] Other diabetic animal model studies by different researchers have also demonstrated the antidiabetic effects of resveratrol.[32][23][69][70][71][72][73]
In human clinical trials, resveratrol has lowered blood sugar levels in both Phase Ib and Phase IIa, conducted by Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, Inc"
Apparently, an Indian company, Sirtris, have proved these effects but have yet to publicly publish the paper.
I shall leave it up to you guys to decide if you think it's snake oil.......or not.
Could we have a thread just for supplements, please Mods?
