What Dr Oz Has to Say About Yacon Syrup

There’s a new weight-loss craze in town, and this time it does not consist of cutting out carbohydrates or insane interval training techniques. Dr Oz has recently placed national focus on a South American root known as Smallanthus Sonchifolius, or Yacon, that has been part of the traditional Andean diet for generations.

Dr Oz has recently outlined the positive benefits of this natural South American sweetener, particularly with its influences on the body’s ability to regulate blood glucose levels. “Now this is why I’m passionate about it, it’s not just about losing weight, Yes you’ll get that I know that’s why people will try this, but if it can get your blood sugar down that’s a Gold Mine for us when it comes to your health.” By regulating the glucose levels after a meal, Yacon Syrup can help to control the way the body stores and uses fat and calories and lead to a healthier waist line and optimized blood sugar levels.

Not only does it help moderate glucose levels in the body, it has also been shown to help with LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, improves bowel regularity, feed the good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and increase the bioavailability of certain essential minerals, such as calcium which is important for cardiovascular health along with a myriad of other essential biochemical processes inside the body.

So What Are People Saying About Yacon Syrup?

Several recognized medical experts and researchers have put their two cents in about the efficacy of this Yacon Syrup and most of the responses have been positive. They have all stated that Yacon Syrup is shown to be safe and are moderately optimistic about the potential for cholesterol control and weight loss. However, they have noted that taking the product in too high amounts can lead to certain side effects such as bloating and gastric discomfort, and therefore caution should be used with quantities. However, all the medical experts interviewed have stated that the positive results of Yacon Syrup warrants further research of this South American root.

Public responses are generally on the positive side. The improvement in bowel function and digestion seemed to be the most highly touted effect of the Yacon Syrup. Whereas many state that they are a bit skeptical about yet another ‘’miracle weight loss all-natural product’’ that is joining the hundreds of other similar products claiming the same thing, many people do believe that it is worth a try.
