If you hate eating leafy greens, then this just might give you another reason not to eat salads. According to a new study, everyone's beloved fried and carbohydrate-filled snacks - French fries - might be a better option than salads.
According to Details:
"Your new favorite scientists, led by Professor Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute in Israel, reached their reasonably sound conclusion after monitoring the rise of blood sugar levels among 800 people who consumed identical meals. They also tracked their physical activity, sleep habits, and bathroom activity. What they found was that people's bodies react very differently to the exact same foods, states the report on Cell. What causes a sharp glucose spike in one person might do nothing to the lucky bastard who can eat an entire serving of fries with no adverse glycemic response."
In fact, an example noted from From the Grape Vine says that one study participant was found to have increased blood sugar levels after consuming bananas.
However, the same person didn't have the same result after eating cookies, while another participant experienced the opposing reaction.
Meanwhile, other participants also noticed a spike in glucose after eating sushi, but not when eating ice cream, and again, other participants experienced the opposite reaction: experiencing glucose spikes after eating ice cream but not with sushi.
As it turns out, these results vary on several things: genetic makeup, lifestyle, and even their microbiome - a bacterial ecosystem that triggers different responses to food.
The new study proves that although one diet may work for one person, it may not work for another. Diets surrounded on controlling blood sugar levels, especially those made to aid in diabetes and obesity, should be customized per person.
