Abstract in brief

  • The study found that daily intake of blueberry bioactives improved insulin sensitivity in obese, insulin-resistant individuals without significant changes in body weight, fat, or inflammation markers.
  • Participants consumed a blueberry smoothie twice daily for 6 weeks, and those in the blueberry group showed a greater increase in insulin sensitivity compared to the placebo group.
  • The results suggest that bioactive compounds in blueberries can help improve how the body responds to insulin, potentially offering benefits for managing insulin resistance and related metabolic issues.]

In one study, people who drank smoothies with #blueberries 2x daily for 6 weeks were better able to lower blood glucose in response to insulin than those who did not consume smoothies with blueberries. https://t.co/fBTWvjW3qc #health #HealthyEating

@GidMK @drninashapiro @TheSciBabe When I checked a random selection 4 out of the first six studies weren't actually funded by a blueberry industry body (DOIs): 10.3945/jn.110.125336 10.1038/srep23625 10.1016/j.nutres.2012.12.009 10.1093/jn/132.7.1865 Perhaps they really are just healthy? Is that such a surprise?
