The Claim

In healthy overweight adults, the acute postprandial glycemic response following consumption of a high-AGE meal is significantly higher than the response following consumption of a low-AGE meal, with a p-value of 0.027.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

In plain English

In healthy overweight adults, eating a meal high in advanced glycation end-products causes a greater spike in blood sugar after eating compared to eating a meal low in advanced glycation end-products.

See the scientific wording

The acute postprandial glycemic response to a high-AGE meal is significantly higher than to a low-AGE meal in healthy overweight adults, with a p-value of 0.027, suggesting dietary AGEs may impair short-term glucose regulation.

Why this might work

When a person eats food cooked at high heat, special compounds called AGEs enter the bloodstream, trigger the production of harmful molecules that damage cells, and block the body's ability to use insulin properly, causing blood sugar to stay high after eating.

  1. Study: Effect of dietary advanced glycation end products on postprandial appetite, inflammation, and endothelial activation in healthy overweight individuals

    This study found that when overweight people ate a meal cooked at high heat (like roasted), their blood sugar rose more after eating than when they ate the same meal cooked by steaming. This suggests that how you cook food can affect your blood sugar, even if you're healthy.
