DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE? ... Yacon constitutes a very promising resource for diet and medicine, because it represents an alternative for patients with diabetes, since the sugars it contains are stored in insulin form; a polymer of fructose or levulose, a sugar with special characteristic in that it is sweeter than glucose, but doesn’t elevate blood sugar, so it doesn’t cause problems for diabetics. Yacon also reduces the risk of arteriosclerosis associated with resistance to insulin and dislipemia, and has been shown to be effective in feeding hypercaloric disorders, based fundamentally on carbon hydrates. The experimental data show that the oligofructose inhibits the hepatic lipogenesis and consequently they have a hypotrigliceridemic effect. Yacon reduces the risk of osteoporosis because it improves the breakdown and absorption of calcium in the body, as well as increasing bone density and bone mass. |
