I read about this a few years ago:

Ray Peat says starches are fattening and also that gut bacteria is bad because it feeds serotonin and estrogen which lower metabolism; so RS isn't good for you though it sounds interesting. |

No, I'm not, but the initial scientific studies on resistant starch appear promising for improving blood sugar and for improving gut bacteria:
"Dietary treatment with rice containing resistant starch improves markers of endothelial function with reduction of postprandial blood glucose and oxidative stress in patients with prediabetes or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22954674
"Dietary fibre improves first-phase insulin secretion in overweight individuals"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22815837
"Resistant starch from high-amylose maize increases insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese men"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22357745
But most of the bigger studies are still underway and not published yet, e.g.,
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=resistant+starch&Search=Search
By the way, resistant starch is a type of fiber that the human body can't digest--hence why it's called "resistant"--but that the beneficial bacteria in your gut feed on. |
