Effects of a diet based on inulin-rich vegetables on gut health and nutrition

N=26. No control group eating, say, lots of low-inulin vegetables. Highlighting studies such as this one is not the right way to popularize science. This study should be of interest to other researchers. Once N is several orders of magnitude higher and lots of comparison groups have been included, then tell a general audience what&#x27;s going on.<p>PS related to &quot;inulin-rich&quot; is &quot;high FODMAP&quot;.

One of the easiest ways to add inulin to your diet is to make heavy use of garlic to your regular meals. Garlic contains one of the highest concentrations of inulin of any common vegetable. It also has a flavor that enhances nearly all savory dishes.<p>Before cooking anything dice up a lot of garlic ahead of time. Then heat up a little bit of oil in the pan, add in the garlic and let it sauté until it just starts to brown. Then add in whatever you were planning on cooking.<p>Don&#x27;t be afraid to add more garlic. More garlic almost always equals more flavor. This is a big reason why Italian cuisine is so consistently delicious. It&#x27;s not unusual for me to use 15-20 cloves of diced garlic when making dinner for two.

It was kind of funny that one of the results was reported as &quot;a trend to increase hedonic attitudes towards some inulin-rich vegetables.&quot; Let&#x27;s look at just a representative handful of the way said vegetables were cooked and presented: mashed Jerusalem artichoke, spinach, pumpkin cream, stuffed artichoke bottoms, tomato coulis, gratin dauphinois, green beans, shallot sauce. I would develop a &quot;hedonic attitude&quot; toward those if I had all the time in the world to cook like that.

&gt; The volunteers showed greater satiety, a reduced desire to eat sweet, salty, and fatty food, and a trend to increase hedonic attitudes towards some inulin-rich vegetables.<p>This is odd, because whenever I eat garlic or onion I start craving sweets for hours afterwards.

&gt; Only flatulence episodes were reported during the dietary intervention<p>Never fails to make me chuckle...

I love garlic but it makes my stomach hurt so much that I can’t sleep. Don’t know what’s up with that.

tldr; eat artichoke, garlic, shallots, leeks, scorzonera&#x2F;salsify and it will reduce cravings for fatty foods. side effects include gas
