Why Is Drink Wholesome Safe for People with Diabetes?
No Food Additives
Drink Wholesome doesn’t contain any food additives whatsoever, which is good news for people with diabetes.
Some food additives, especially emulsifiers like carrageenan and artificial sweeteners like sucralose, alter the composition of your gut microbiome. 1
In many cases, these changes induce glucose intolerance, which is harmful for people with diabetes. 2
They can also impair gut barrier integrity, increase inflammation, and cause metabolic disturbances, all of which contribute to the progression of diabetes mellitus. 3
No Protein Concentrates or Isolates
Drink Wholesome is also made from whole food protein sources like egg whites and almonds, not ultra-processed protein concentrates and isolates.
Protein concentrates and isolates have been mechanically and/or chemically stripped of everything but the protein.
As a result, they can cause hyperinsulinemia (abnormally high levels of insulin) because eating lots of protein without fats, carbs and fiber promotes insulin secretion. 4
Hyperinsulinemia, as you probably already know, is harmful for people with diabetes. 5
