Role of viscous guar gums in lowering the glycemic response after a solid meal
Leclere CJ et al.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ยท 1994
In plain language
In healthy adults, high-viscosity guar gum lowered the glycemic response to a solid meal more than low-viscosity guar. Slowed gastric emptying was the main mechanism, with slower starch digestion in the upper small intestine contributing a smaller part.
