5 Scientific publication shows that chicory root fibres can significantly lower the blood glucose response in sugar-reduced food products March Prebiotic chicory root fibres can significantly lower the blood glucose response when used to partially replace the sugars in a food product. This effect has now been confirmed for formulations with low levels of sugar replacement in two well-designed blood glucose response studies¹. Correlation analysis of the data also highlighted the more sugar that is replaced with chicory root fibre, the lower the blood glucose response will be. The linear slope suggests this effect can be seen with less than the 20% of sugar replacement, which is the lowest level that was experimentally tested.
