Switching from sugar-sweetened soda to low- or no-sugar functional carbonated drinks can reduce added-sugar intake and is associated with lower risk of calorie surplus, adiposity, and insulin resistance. Some options also add prebiotic fibers like inulin that may support beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria. “Healthy” on the can is not a guarantee. Here is ...

In men, excess visceral (deep belly) fat speeds up aging by acting as an inflammatory endocrine organ that releases cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, driving chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and faster atherosclerosis. Losing just 5 to 10% of body weight in midlife can measurably improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and inflammatory markers. This makes ...
Dave’s Killer Bread glycemic index: Healthy for weight loss?
Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
