The Claim
In healthy adults with elevated fasting glucose, consuming 10 grams of resistant maltodextrin with a 75-gram carbohydrate rice meal significantly enhances subjective satiety over 180 minutes without significantly altering glucose, insulin, or GLP-1 responses.
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 high fasting blood sugar, eating 10 grams of resistant maltodextrin with a rice meal increases feelings of fullness for three hours without changing blood sugar, insulin, or GLP-1 levels.
See the scientific wording
In healthy adults with elevated fasting glucose, consuming 10 grams of resistant maltodextrin with a 75-gram carbohydrate rice meal significantly enhances subjective satiety over 180 minutes without significantly altering glucose, insulin, or GLP-1 responses, suggesting a mechanical rather than hormonal mechanism.
When resistant maltodextrin is eaten with a meal, it absorbs water and swells in the stomach, making the stomach stretch more than usual. This stretch activates sensors in the stomach wall that send signals through nerves to the brain, telling it the person is full. These signals last for hours, so the person feels less hungry even though blood sugar and hunger hormones stay the same.
What the research says
1 studyWhen people with slightly high blood sugar ate rice with 10 grams of resistant maltodextrin, they felt fuller for longer — but their blood sugar, insulin, and fullness hormones didn’t change. This suggests the fiber just made their stomach feel fuller, not that it changed their body chemistry.
