Assam Fruit in Total Health Magazine

Total Health Online is a leading online health magazine committed to contributing insight and industry advice by trusted names in natural health. Their collection of incisive articles include topics like probiotics, energy supplements, and the fundamentals of wellness, supported by science and recognized professionals. Their September issue, released yesterday, contains a wonderfully informative article on how insulin levels contribute to weight gain, along with the benefits of Assam fruit.

Written by Dr. Dallas Clouatre, a frequent contributor to the Nutrition Business Journal and Whole Foods Magazine, the article spans the effect of refined carbohydrates on insulin levels. When insulin levels are high after meals, Dr. Clouatre claims, the ability to access fats for energy takes several hours, which leads to hunger and overeating.

"Low carbohydrate diets are more successful than low fat diets in terms of delivering health benefits unless there is very careful attention to what is termed the 'glycemic load'." He recommends foods with a low-glycemic load like non-starchy vegetables and legumes, versus refined grains, fruit juices, and sweets.

Not surprisingly, Dr. Clouatre also mentions the benefits of Assam fruit, the extract found in AllDaySlim. He connects the dots between insulin levels and the benefits of Assam fruit, also known as Assam Gelugur.

"Extracts of Assam Gelugur in clinical trials repeatedly have been shown to be safe and to improve weight loss and appetite control. The new wrinkle is the discovery of the proper technique for producing a stable extract that dramatically reduces insulin levels while at the same time improving blood glucose regulation."

He concludes with the announcement that the validity of Assam fruit extract will soon be explored at a major university, and has been chosen by the National Institutes of Health for a clinical trial at the end of the year.
