Effect of Lemon Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar on Postprandial Blood Glucose and Satiety in Healthy Individuals
The Effect of Lemon Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar on Postprandial Blood Glucose and Satiety in Healthy Individuals
This clinical study aims to examine how acidic drinks (lemon juice and apple cider vinegar) affect blood sugar when consumed with a starchy food. The study focuses on healthy individuals and aims to understand whether these drinks can slow the rise in blood sugar after meals and affect feelings of fullness.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Do lemon juice or apple cider vinegar lower the rise in blood sugar after a meal? Do these drinks increase feelings of fullness? Do different amounts change their effects?
Researchers will compare lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to see which one is more effective.
Participants will:
Consume white bread in the morning on an empty stomach with one of the following drinks:
Water only Water with lemon juice (50 g or 100 g) Water with apple cider vinegar (10 g or 20 g) Have a one-week break between each test. Have their blood sugar measured at regular intervals for 3 hours after eating. Report their level of fullness using a simple scale.
This study explores whether simple and practical dietary choices can help manage blood sugar levels. The findings may support new, easy-to-apply nutrition strategies for managing diabetes and weight.
調査の概要
状態
詳細な説明
Glycemic response plays an important role in the prevention and management of metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Different foods can cause rapid or slow increases in blood sugar levels. One factor that may influence this response is the acidity of foods. Acidic components may slow starch digestion and delay the rise in blood glucose by affecting digestive enzymes and gastric emptying. However, there are limited studies examining how the acidity of meals influences glycemic response in practical, real-life conditions.
This study is designed to investigate the effects of consuming acidic beverages, specifically lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, together with a starch-rich food. The study will compare their effects on post-meal blood glucose levels and feelings of fullness in healthy individuals. Different amounts of these acidic components will also be evaluated to understand dose-related effects.
Participants will consume standardized meals under controlled conditions, and their blood glucose response and satiety levels will be monitored over time. The study follows a comparative approach to assess the relative effectiveness of each intervention.
The findings of this study may help identify simple and practical dietary strategies to support better blood sugar control. As lemon juice and vinegar are widely available and easy to include in daily meals, the results may offer accessible approaches for improving dietary habits and supporting metabolic health.

実験的：Control (Water + White Bread)
Participants consume white bread together with plain water only.
This arm serves as the control condition to evaluate postprandial blood glucose response without any acidic additive.
|
Participants will consume 100 g of white bread together with plain water (no acidic additive).
This condition serves as the control arm for assessing baseline postprandial glycemic response and satiety.
Capillary blood glucose will be measured at baseline and at multiple time points up to 180 minutes following consumption.
Satiety and appetite sensations will be assessed using a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS).

実験的：Lemon Juice 50 g
Participants consume white bread together with water containing 50 g lemon juice.
This arm evaluates the effect of low-dose lemon juice on postprandial blood glucose response and satiety.
|
Participants will consume 100 g of white bread together with 50 g of lemon juice diluted in water.
This intervention is designed to evaluate the effect of a low-dose acidic beverage (citric acid source) on postprandial blood glucose response and satiety.
Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at predefined time points up to 180 minutes, and subjective appetite sensations will be assessed using a 100-mm VAS.
