The Claim
In adults with obesity, consumption of 50 grams of carbohydrates from 3G rice is associated with a sustained elevation of GLP-1 levels between 60 and 120 minutes post-meal, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.019.
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 adults with obesity, eating 50 grams of carbohydrates from 3G rice results in a measurable and sustained increase in GLP-1 hormone levels between 60 and 120 minutes after the meal.
See the scientific wording
In adults with obesity, consumption of 50 grams of carbohydrates from 3G rice is associated with sustained elevation of GLP-1 levels from 60 to 120 minutes post-meal (p = 0.019), indicating a potential mechanism for improved glycemic control through enhanced incretin hormone secretion.
The undigested parts of 3G rice reach the lower intestine and trigger special cells to release a hormone that tells the pancreas to make more insulin and less glucagon, which keeps blood sugar lower for longer after eating.
What the research says
1 studyEating 3G rice instead of white rice made obese people’s bodies release more of a helpful gut hormone called GLP-1 for up to two hours after eating, which helps lower blood sugar. This matches exactly what the claim said.
