"As long as the public thinks that sugar is just ‘empty calories,’ we have no chance in solving this,”
“There are good calories and bad calories, just as there are good fats and bad fats, good amino acids and bad amino acids, good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates,” Lustig said. “But sugar is toxic beyond its calories.” Robert Lustig, MD

miglitol 25 mg TABLET contains Miglitol, an anti-diabetic drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone. It works by inhibiting intestinal enzymes that break complex sugars into simple sugars like glucose.
