Episode notes
Grapes, Beans And Berries: Different Risks
- Grapes caused quick glucose rises that fell quickly and occurred even in insulin-sensitive people.
- Beans and berries produced the lowest glucose responses and are metabolically safer choices.
Use Potato:Grape Ratio As A Quick Screen
- Compare your potato-to-grape spike ratio as a simple screening for insulin resistance.
- If potatoes raise glucose more than grapes, consider further metabolic evaluation.
AI Classified Glucose Curve Subtypes
- AI tools helped classify glucose-curve shapes and integrate genomics, metabolomics, and microbiome data.
- The study used AI to tease apart mechanistic subtypes behind food-specific spikes.
