Food Therapy: Bean Fibers In Reduced Risk of Abnormal Blood Glucose

Kyle J. Norton



Epidemiological studies suggested that bean fiber may have a potential used as therapeutically functional food in reduced risk of hyperglycemia.

Hyperglycemic is a condition characterized by abnormal high blood sugar in the blood stream.

According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison,  dietary fiber intake daily and regularly not only lowers blood cholesterol levels but also normalizes blood glucose and insulin levels, thus reducing risk and treatment of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Unfortunately, recommended intakes, 20-35 g/day for healthy adults and age plus 5 g/day for children, are not being met, according to statistic.

In a randomized, single blind, crossover design study (food intake: n=22; glycemia: n=10) with 5 liquid meals distributing similar amounts of macronutrients (C - control shake, OB - oat bran shake, F - flaxseed shake, WB - white bean extract shake, and UB - unripe banana flour shake) consumed in five non-consecutive days, returned questionnaire from participants after 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes ingestion of each shake suggested that
1. In compared to control, intake of white bean extract shake showed a significantly increased fiber component.
2. Bean extract exhibited a strong glycemic control through expression of an incremental areas under the curves (iAUC).

Additionally, in the study of children completed a trial of 4 different breakfasts, given in random order, with 3 diets differed in fiber content and the fourth diet contained soya beans as part (38%) of the dietary fiber source  were asked to exercise vigorously for an hour each morning and to rest for an hour, with no different mean diet contributed in the morning, after taking account of other risk factors, blood samples drawn from children reveal the following results.
1. There were no difference of blood glucose levels on the high-fiber diet in compared to those on the medium-fiber diet
2. Children fed with bean diet scored a significantly lowest mean blood glucose level and
3. The effect of glycemic control of blood glucose of bean diet was last into the hour before lunch.
Even with the better control of blood glucose, the bean diet was found to be unacceptable diet among children, in compared to the liked of the high- and medium-fibre diets, which were as popular as the low-fiber diet.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that bean fibers may have a positive effect in attenuated risk of abnormal high blood glucsoe, a major risk factors in increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
