Olive oil before carbs may blunt blood glucose spikes
Original: 8-Oct-2026 # OliveOil before carbs blunts the early rise in blood glucose in mice Study links # nutrientOrder to # hormo
A new mouse study finds that taking olive oil before carbohydrates blunts the early rise in blood glucose. Researchers link the effect to hormones that regulate gastric emptying, suggesting the order in which nutrients are eaten influences glucose responses. Commenters welcomed the finding, with some noting it supports eating habits they already follow, though the results so far come from animal research rather than human trials.
Why now: The study offers a simple dietary tweak with potential relevance to blood sugar control, attracting attention from health-conscious readers.
