Gum in your bread? study tests acacia for blood sugar control
NCT ID NCT07416643
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study looked at whether adding acacia gum to flour-based foods can help control blood sugar spikes after meals in healthy adults. Fourteen healthy volunteers ate foods made with acacia gum-enriched flour, and researchers measured their blood sugar levels. The goal was to understand how this fiber might affect digestion and glucose response, but it was a small, early-stage study with no direct treatment benefit.
