The Claim

Daily consumption of 19.6 grams of resistant starch from heat-treated Dodamssal brown rice for two weeks reduces skin autofluorescence by 0.06% (p=0.003) in obese adults.

In plain English

Eating 19.6 grams of resistant starch from heat-treated Dodamssal brown rice daily for two weeks lowers skin autofluorescence by 0.06% in obese adults, indicating reduced levels of advanced glycation end-products.

See the scientific wording

Daily consumption of 19.6 grams of resistant starch from heat-treated Dodamssal brown rice for two weeks significantly reduces skin autofluorescence, a biomarker of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), by 0.06% (p=0.003) in obese adults, indicating reduced accumulation of harmful glucose-derived compounds.

Why this might work

Undigested starch reaches the gut, where bacteria break it down into acids that improve how the body uses insulin. Better insulin control lowers blood sugar spikes, and the acids also calm down body-wide inflammation. Together, this reduces the formation of harmful sugar-protein compounds that accumulate in the skin.

  1. Study: Effects of Consuming Heat-Treated Dodamssal Brown Rice Containing Resistant Starch on Glucose Metabolism in Humans

    Eating a specific type of specially cooked brown rice every day for two weeks helped reduce a marker of sugar damage in the skin of obese people, and the study proved it worked.
