Researchers led by King’s College London announced today the first published results from PREDICT, the largest ongoing nutritional study of its kind.
The results, published in Nature Medicine and presented at the American Society of Nutrition 2020, showed a wide range of metabolic responses after eating in apparently healthy adults, and that inflammation triggered by the food we eat varies up to ten-fold.
Poor metabolic responses to food, where the body takes longer and works harder to clear the blood of fat and sugar, are linked with increased risk of conditions such as low-grade inflammatory diseases including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The results suggest improved health could be achieved by eating foods that are personalised to reduce inflammation after meals.
