The Claim
Supplementing the diet with 30 grams per day of blended rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils for 8 weeks reduces serum glucose by 1.51% in Chinese adults with borderline hypercholesterolemia.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In Chinese adults with borderline high cholesterol, consuming 30 grams per day of a blend of rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils for 8 weeks lowers blood glucose levels by 1.51%.
See the scientific wording
Supplementing the diet with 30 grams per day of blended rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils for 8 weeks reduces serum glucose by 1.51% in Chinese adults with borderline hypercholesterolemia, suggesting a potential modest benefit for glycemic control.
The oils provide specific fatty acids that make muscle and liver cells more responsive to insulin, allowing those cells to take up more sugar from the blood, which lowers blood sugar levels.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that adding 30 grams of a special oil blend (rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame) to the daily diet for 8 weeks slightly lowered blood sugar levels in middle-aged and older adults with slightly high cholesterol, just like the claim said.
