Every single test of potato starch that I’ve done has been successful.
I am about to gear back up for more tests too… so stay tuned.
I’ve been asking this question a lot lately … having seen my results, if you are not using potato starch… why not?
My personal experiment shows the positive effects resistant starch can have on your blood sugars, therefore potato starch can help you manage diabetes. I urge you not to eat a lot of high carb foods to obtain resistant starch, but to use Bob’s Red Mill Raw Potato Starch.
AT THE VERY LEAST Resistant Starch (Bob’s Red Mill Potato Starch) is an inexpensive prebiotic that benefits the lower gut.
At the most, I’ve seen it improve insulin resistance, improve ‘glucose processing’ and blunt the blood glucose effect of foods.
Now.. I’ve witnessed it apparently blunt a blood glucose spike from intense exercise.
This is the kind of ignorance I fought when going ‘low carb paleo’.
THINK ABOUT THAT!
Just a couple of pictures of data/charts and a brief explanation. Topic: Comparing 30 days of blood sugar readings, pre and post resistant starch.
After taking Resistant Starch (Bob’s Red Mill Potato Starch) she’s taking less insulin and experiencing less of the diabetes roller coaster ride, reducing the time spent in organ damaging, elevated blood sugar ranges.
THIS IS HUGE!!!
She has improved her Glucose Processing and she’s taking less insulin and experiencing less of the roller coaster rides that she once was. Reducing the time spent in organ damaging, elevated blood sugar ranges.
In other words, given all the above reported benefits of resistant starch for diabetics, you would have to be an IDIOT not to experiment… so I did. :)
