New research has found that people with a genetic defect in their ability to digest sucrose eat less cake, sweets and chocolate, which could hold the key to helping the wider population to eat less ...

Do you have IBS-like flare-ups after eating sweets made with regular white sugar, starches, and other foods like oranges, bananas, and cantaloupe (when these are low FODMAP choices)? You may need to ...

Sucrase-isomaltase (SI) is an intestinal enzyme critical for the digestion of dietary carbohydrates, particularly sucrose and starch. Previous studies from the Gastrointestinal Genetics team at CIC ...

Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by mutations in the gene that encodes the sucrase-isomaltase enzyme complex. This complex is essential ...

The work provides novel genetic insights into dietary preferences and opens the possibility of targeting SI to selectively reduce sucrose intake at the population level. The study was led by Dr. Peter ...

An international team of researchers says that a genetic variation in our ability to digest certain sugars may influence how much we like sweet foods -- and how much we consume. motortion - ...

The research points to sucrose, among other sugars, as a key trigger of bowel symptoms in individuals with a genetic predisposition to carbohydrate maldigestion, opening doors for personalized ...
