High-Fat High-Sugar Diet And Fiber

In this latest study, the researchers allocated mice into five groups to all be fed high-fat, high-sucrose diets (HFD). Each group's diet also consisted of either 10% cellulose (control), pectin, beta-glucan, wheat dextrin or resistant starch. Health markers were measured over 18 weeks, assessing percentages of weight gain, fat mass and lean mass. They also looked at the effect of the diets on blood glucose levels after eating, up to two hours after consumption.
