Vitamins block post-meal grogginess in diabetics
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 03 - 07 - 2008


Fatty meals may cloud the
brains of people with type 2 diabetes, but antioxidant vitamins
can help clear the fog, Canadian researchers demonstrated in a
study they conducted, according to Reuters.
The findings suggest, the researchers say, that memory
impairment after heavy meals in type 2 diabetics is related to
oxidative damage.
The findings shouldn't be interpreted to mean that people
can avoid the harmful consequences of fatty foods and "bad
carbs" by popping vitamin pills, Dr. Carol Greenwood of the
University of Toronto, who was involved in the study, told
Reuters Health.
In the study, Greenwood and colleague Michael Herman Chui
had 16 men and women with type 2 diabetes who were 50 and older
eat three different meals at three separate weekly sessions: a
Danish, cheddar cheese and yogurt with whipped cream; water
only; or the same meal plus 1000 milligrams of vitamin C and
800 international units of vitamin E.
They found that people performed worse on tests of verbal
recall and working memory 105 minutes after eating the high fat
meal. But when they took vitamins with the meal, they did just
as well on the tests as they did after drinking water.
The cognitive effects observed in the study were subtle,
but large enough to impair performance, Greenwood said in an
interview. "It kind of makes the 50-year-old brain more like
the 75-year-old brain," she explained. And these effects could
accumulate to cause lasting damage, according to the
researcher.
Greenwood said studies are planned using brain imaging to
look at what exactly happens in the brain of diabetes patients
after a heavy meal.
