"The researchers also examined the blood of 28 people four hours after they drank a bottle of the nutritional shake Ensure. One group, perhaps those with insulin resistance, responded very quickly to the drink and in some it increased their levels of inflammation, suggesting it was not doing them good.

Others processed the shake more slowly and in some, markers of inflammation fell, suggesting it provided a benefit. Knowing what foods cause or reduces inflammation "would be very, very powerful," Snyder said, helping people make more personalized decisions about which foods to eat or avoid. "

My daughter drinks an Ensure Plus every day to maintain her weight. It's always worried me since I think of it as being a liquid doughnut. I'd like to know which group she is in. The study participants tested at 4 time points after drinking an Ensure . At over $260 per test, although a remarkably low price, it's still too expensive for us to replicate.
