On September 5th, Academician Jia Weiping from Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, Professor Li Huating and researchers from the Hansnol Institute of Germany published a study in the journal Cell Metabolism (Cell Metab), demonstrating that consuming foods rich in "resistant starch" can effectively reduce fatty liver, as well as lower triglycerides and liver enzymes associated with liver damage and inflammation.

  Resistant starch, a type of starch that is resistant to pancreatic amylase, is found in natural foods such as corn, whole grains, potatoes, beans, and whole grains. Although it cannot be digested in the small intestine, it can be fermented by the microbial flora in the colon, which has a positive impact on metabolism.

  The study enrolled 200 patients with fatty liver disease, 100 of whom ate resistant starch (high amylose) from corn; 100 patients were fed equal-energy control starch. Two groups of patients with fatty liver were fed with 20 grams of resistant starch mixed with 300 ml of water twice a day before each meal.

  Four months later, the results showed:

  1. fatty liver and weight loss, compared with the control group, resistant starch significantly reduced the content of triglycerides in the liver of participants, the absolute reduction of 9.08%, the relative reduction of 39.42%. In addition, the participants' body weight, BMI and so on were significantly reduced.

  2. Liver damage was improved, and alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptides of the resistant starch group participants were also significantly reduced, indicating that liver damage was improved.

  3. Dyslipidemia was alleviated. The total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein cholesterol of participants in the resistant starch group were improved, and dyslipidemia was alleviated.

  Therefore, resistant starch foods undoubtedly add a strong guarantee for our healthy life.

  Beijing Xiangyu, as the leading brand of resistant starch in China, originates from agriculture and serves the functional food industry, making significant contributions to promoting a healthy China. The company's products excel in the field of low GI, weight, and other functional food applications. As a type of resistant starch, high straight chain corn starch produced by Quan Yin Xiangyu (Beijing) Biotechnology Co., LTD., possesses advantages such as slow digestion and anti-digestion properties that ensure smooth blood sugar levels, stable satiety, and high satisfaction. Additionally, taste and texture as well as easy processing due to its low viscosity and stable water retention capabilities. This innovative solution effectively addresses challenges related to developing low GI products with poor palatability caused by high fiber content. Consequently, it significantly enhances the quality of low GI foods while gaining popularity among customers. The company has received numerous awards which serve as recognition from customers and evaluation from the market. We will continue our diligent efforts in creating new products to further to a healthier China while providing exceptional service to our valued customers.
