A type of fibre that stimulates GLP-1 release approved for use in food

A new type of fiber that stimulates the release of the hormone GLP-1, known for reducing hunger, has been given the green light by a European regulatory body and could soon be incorporated into various food products within a year. This development is significant as it offers a potential tool in the fight against obesity by helping to control appetite naturally. The approval could pave the way for healthier food options that assist in weight management, reflecting a growing trend toward functional foods that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition.
