Surprisingly, even though the whole food we pop into the blender may have the same nutrients as the liquid smoothie, how those nutrients are absorbed can be affected by their form and structure.
A 2019 paper published in the journal Food & Function describes how researchers tested the digestibility of three different forms of foods that were identical in nutrient content. Then they measured how the varied forms of food affected appetite and specific blood tests in human subjects.
Other studies have found similar results. Ground nuts have been shown to cause a higher rise in blood fat than whole nuts, for example.When excess triglycerides enter the circulation after a meal, it can trigger inflammation. In fact, these rises in blood fat after meals have been found to increase our risk for heart disease as well as Type 2 diabetes, say experts.
Still, it’s fascinating to learn that the form of the food we eat may have more impact than we think. Thanks for the question. No good evidence, Karen. Seltzer water is plain water that has been infused, or “carbonated,” with carbon dioxide. It was discovered by accident in 1767, when a man in England suspended a bowl of water above a beer vat at a brewery. He called the procedure “Impregnating Water with Fixed Air.”
