These Sugar Swaps Stop Insulin Resistance (very fast)
"There was a review in the journal nutrients, and it showed, looking at five randomized trials, so five RCTs, that across those trials, monk fruit extract reduced postprandial glucose by up to 18% and insulin responses went down 12 to 22%. This was all compared to like a sugar-sweetened control."
Five randomized controlled trials reviewed in the journal Nutrients demonstrated that monk fruit extract containing mogrosides reduced post-meal glucose by up to 18% and insulin by 12-22% compared to sugar controls. One trial also showed a 25% reduction in inflammatory cytokines, suggesting mogrosides have bioactive anti-inflammatory properties beyond simply providing zero-calorie sweetness.
