Researchers Put Spinach Directly Into Bread And Saw The Body's Insulin Response Change video

Description

Scientists have figured out how to secretly enrich white bread with spinach – and it could have an immediate and measurable impact on the body's insulin response. In a recent crossover trial, funded by Monash University in Australia and published in Future Foods, researchers tested a novel bread recipe on 15 healthy adults. After a night of fasting, participants were randomized to either consume white bread for breakfast or bread secretly enriched with spinach. The next week, they ate the other type of bread. Compared to the white bread, the spinach-enhanced bread contained 28 percent more fiber, 58 percent more folate, 78 percent more calcium, 90 percent more iron, and two times as much potassium. After breakfast, all participants showed relatively similar blood glucose patterns, regardless of which bread they ate. But the insulin of those who unknowingly ate spinach did something intriguing.
