The Claim
A single high-AGE meal increases overall ghrelin response by approximately 16% compared to a low-AGE meal in healthy overweight adults, while subjective appetite and subsequent food intake remain unchanged.
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.
Eating one meal high in advanced glycation end-products raises ghrelin levels by about 16% compared to a low-AGE meal in healthy overweight adults, but does not change reported hunger or how much food is eaten afterward.
See the scientific wording
A single high-AGE meal increases overall ghrelin response by approximately 16% compared to a low-AGE meal in healthy overweight adults, indicating a potential acute effect on hunger signaling, though subjective appetite and subsequent food intake were unchanged.
When a person eats a meal cooked at high heat, certain compounds in the food enter the bloodstream and cause stress in stomach cells, which triggers those cells to release more of the hunger hormone. This happens even though the person does not feel hungrier or eat more food afterward.
What the research says
1 studyWhen overweight people ate a meal cooked at high heat, their bodies produced a bit more of the hunger hormone ghrelin than when they ate the same meal steamed — but they didn’t feel hungrier or eat more. So the meal changed a hormone, but not their appetite.
