(This is an offshoot of my main post :
BBC "Trust Me I'm A Doctor" = "Don't I'm a TV Doctor"
as I first saw the concept in this TV show and as yet the topic appears to have no post of it's own on ISF)
- The Michael Mosley TV show had a number of dodgy science practices however The Concept of Resistant Starch does seem to be quite accepted, but I wondered if we could thrash out some of our skepticisms here.
The magic of Resistant Starch is that it is supposed to prevent diabetes, as easily digestible hot pasta, becomes hard to digest Resistant Starch so you don't get the same sugar rush into your blood and insulin need from your pancreas that is needed to get the surplus sugar out of your blood.
ie that warm cooked carbohydrates are very easy to digest and that leads to a sugar rush in the blood which leads to the pancreas being a bit hammered ..and could contribute to diabetes
- But when the very same meal is eaten cold or even reheated it behaves more like fibre ..ie more of it ends up down the toilet.
