Rational & Study Design
Why I created this challenge:
The prevalence of high blood sugar in the U.S. is alarming, with added sugars majorly contributing to this. Scholarly research suggests that excessive sugar intake can lead to hyperglycemia and other health issues. However, social media is abuzz with claims of alternative sweeteners, like Lakanto Monkfruit, providing a healthier option. Despite the chatter, there's a lack of concrete evidence on the impact of these zero-calorie sweeteners on blood glucose levels. Hence, it's crucial to scientifically test these claims.
My Objective for You:
My goal is to help you understand the effect of replacing added sugars with Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener on your blood glucose levels. You will be provided with an A1C Blood Test kit to monitor changes in your blood sugar levels throughout the challenge. This way, we can gather concrete data on how this sweetener impacts your health.
Aims & Objectives:
The primary aim of this challenge is to understand the impact of replacing added sugars in the diet with Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener on blood glucose levels. The secondary objective is to evaluate any changes in sleep patterns, using the PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Scale, potentially resulting from this dietary change.
Significance & Impact:
This challenge holds the potential to provide significant insights into managing blood glucose levels through dietary changes. The findings can help individuals make informed decisions about their sugar consumption. However, it's important to note that results may vary based on individual health conditions and lifestyle factors. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a step towards understanding our dietary choices better.
