Simple Carb Hack Promises Glycemic Index Reduction: Fact or Fiction?
A recent video by Robert Love, a memory improvement advocate, has gone viral. The video, featuring Dr. Shintani, a Harvard-trained nutritionist, claims a simple method can reduce the glycemic index of common carbs by up to 50%. The method involves heating and then cooling carbs like rice or bread. Dr. Shintani explains that this process creates resistant starch, slowing digestion and sugar release into the bloodstream. "It's unbelievably simple," Dr. Shintani states. While the video is informative, some viewers have expressed concerns about the claims. Further research is needed to independently verify the extent of glycemic index reduction. The video's popularity highlights the ongoing interest in simple dietary changes to improve blood sugar control.
