Glucose metabolism responds to perceived sugar intake more than actual sugar intake
Our study indicates that blood glucose level in people with type 2 diabetes is influenced by the perception of sugar consumption. Blood glucose levels increased in accordance with how much sugar participants believed they consumed rather than how much they actually consumed.

Glucose metabolism responds to perceived sugar intake more than actual sugar intake
There is a growing acknowledgement that both mind and body exert a role in the course of many physical diseases. Several studies suggest that subjective mental states, such as mindsets or expectations, may influence human physiology. For example, our studies have shown that young adults had improved vision when they were exposed to pilot and athlete mindset-primes , or that expectations to develop influenza-like symptoms during the winter season increase the chances to develop the symptoms...
