Science wants to conduct an experiment to determine the glycemic response of
Water
Diet Soda (aspartame)
Regular high fructose Soda
Zevia
I have a lancet and blood glucose meter already
We need 10 volunteers, who would be willing to come to MakerSpace on a Saturday morning, for 4 Saturdays and commit to not eating anything until after the experiment
who will wake up, not eat or drink anything
lancet themselves with a diabetic blood sugar meter and read glucose level
drink one of the above and then
lancet themselves and read the glucose level 30min, 1 hour, 2 hour, later
they shouldn’t eat or drink anything from waking up until 2 hours after the drink
your blood sugar determines your insulin level, insulin is the hormone that controls your bodies’ fat storage. This is why KETO or Atkins or whatever the hell you want to call it works, it removes carbs which cause glycemic response and insulin secretion. Obese people often become diabetics because they have chronically high insulin levels and eventually destroy their own pancreas and so they can no longer regulate their own blood sugar.
