Effect of low calorie cranberry juice on the human glycemic response
This study examined the effects of low and normal calorie cranberry juice (CBJ) on the postprandial glycemic response of healthy college‐aged students. Groups received either nothing, water (480 ml), unsweetened low calorie CBJ (38 Cal/480 ml), normal calorie CBJ (280 Cal/480 ml), isocaloric low cal...

| Summary: | This study examined the effects of low and normal calorie cranberry juice (CBJ) on the postprandial glycemic response of healthy college‐aged students. Groups received either nothing, water (480 ml), unsweetened low calorie CBJ (38 Cal/480 ml), normal calorie CBJ (280 Cal/480 ml), isocaloric low calorie (sugar water), or isocaloric normal calorie (sugar water) beverages. Changes in blood glucose, plasma insulin, heart rate and blood pressure were measured for 180 minutes post‐administration. Relative to baseline and each other, no significant differences in blood glucose or insulin were observed in the low calorie groups during the 180 minute study. Ingestion of normal calorie beverages resulted in significantly higher glucose concentrations at 30, 60 and 120 minutes relative to baseline, although the changes were no longer significant after 180 minutes. Plasma insulin concentrations in the normal calorie beverage recipients were significantly higher than baseline at 60 minutes and no longer significantly different at 120 minutes. CBJ ingestion did not affect heart rate or blood pressure. Consumption of low calorie CBJ may be beneficial for persons with impaired glucose tolerance. |
