Claim 1 of 5Not checkedResearch led by Hokkaido University scientists found that digestion of a particular red alga releases a peptide with potential benefits for blood glucose control and diabetes prevention.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedpotential benefits
Not checked
A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 2 of 5Not checkedThe seaweed studied was dulse (Devaleraea inkyuleei), and an artificial digestion process in the laboratory was used to mimic human digestion.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 3 of 5Not checkedA novel peptide called EVYR, made up of four amino acids, was released during digestion and could help regulate blood glucose levels by inhibiting DPP-IV.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedcould help regulate blood glucose levels
Not checked
A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 4 of 5Not checkedThe team used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure how much EVYR was released, and they also reported that other red algae could potentially release EVYR based on sequence comparisons and computer simulations.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedcould potentially release EVYR
Not checked
A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 5 of 5Not checkedThe article says further studies are needed to determine whether the amount of EVYR released during dulse digestion is sufficient to influence blood glucose levels in humans.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedsufficient to influence blood glucose levels
Not checked
A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
