This systematic review evaluated the acute effects of non-oil-seed pulses on cardiometabolic health parameters in humans. It found that 28 of 40 studies reported lower glucose responses and 16 of 24 studies reported lower insulin responses compared to control foods. The review highlights the potential of non-oil-seed pulses as low-glycemic foods.
Key findings
- 28 of 40 studies reported lower glucose responses after consuming non-oil-seed pulses compared to control foods.
- 16 of 24 studies showed lower insulin responses following pulse consumption versus control groups.
- 3 of 5 studies found a significant reduction in hunger after meals enriched with pulses.
Why it matters
Understanding the impact of non-oil-seed pulses on glycemic control and satiety can inform dietary recommendations for managing cardiometabolic health, particularly in populations at risk for diabetes and obesity.
