Dr Oz is always trying to find the next big thing in weight loss. The team at The Dr. Oz Show asked several viewers interested in weight loss to try yacon syrup for 28 days.
Dr Oz had 60 women take one teaspoon of yacon syrup with or before each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for four weeks. They were told not to change their diets or exercise habits. Forty of the 60 women completed the project and of those 40 women:
Dr Oz revealed that in a 2009 study done by Susana Genta and colleagues using a yacon extract in a group of overweight women, found a 33-pound (16 kg) average weight loss in four months, which is about two pounds per week. LDL (“bad”) cholesterol also fell significantly.
What is Yacon Syrup and the health benefits?
Yacon is a South American tuber (from the Asteraceae family) that looks sort of like a potato, but tastes like an apple. Yacon’s health benefits and pleasant taste have been appreciated by native Peruvian cultures for thousands of years. Yacon Syrup can add sweetness to your diet without the negative effects of cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup.
Yacon Syrup is a low-glycemic sweetener that tastes like molasses. With half the calories of sugar and a high concentration of indigestible inulin, yacon is a great alternative sweetener for diabetics and those wanting to reduce their sugar intake. Use it like any other sweet syrup for baked goods, smoothies, desserts, sauces and dressings.
The yacon syrup, distilled from the Peruvian tuber yacon, contains up to 50 percent fructooligosacharides or FOS.
According to the Dr Oz website, “If you want to try yacon syrup for weight loss, take one teaspoon of 100% pure yacon syrup before or with each meal. Or you can use it as a sugar substitute. You can purchase yacon syrup at health food stores or online. Because of yacon syrup’s bowel movement-promoting properties, you may want to limit daily consumption to no more than 1-2 tablespoons.” Using the yacon in recipes to incorporate it into your diet is fine, but keep in mind that heating yacon syrup to a high temperatures (as in baking) can affect some of its beneficial properties. To maximize the benefits, don’t heat it above 70° C, although you can add it to hot drinks like coffee or tea.
Consuming Yacon syrup also increases absorption of dietary minerals, and may make calcium more bioavailable. Dr Oz says studies have shown this could help increase bone density and delay the progression of osteoporosis. Studies also show that neutraceuticals, especially fructans such as yacon, may increase the efficiency of the immune system, lower infection risk and reduce digestive allergies.
3 Best Sugar AlternativesAs a side note, yacon root and root extracts are to be used, not the leaves, which may be potentially toxic. If you don’t like the idea of taking the yacon extract, fructooligosaccharides can also be found in onions, garlic, asparagus, bananas, artichokes and chicory.
Yacon is a sweetener extracted from the tuberous root of the Yacon plant native to the Andes mountains. Peruvians eat Yacon for its nutritional value and low sugar levels not to mention lower calories. The leaves of the plant are sometimes boiled by Brazilians to make a tea which is said to have anti-diabetic properties. Yacon is comprised of 50% fructooligosacharides which don’t raise blood glucose.

Here's what was popular in the PHP community one year ago today:
It seems like one the existential questions of our time – at least, for web designers. But for years, many of us have been trying to figure out the “right” number of WordPress plugins to use within a website.
I hate to break it to anyone who likes nice, round figures: There is no specific number. No threshold that defines you as either a pro or poser. I know, some people define their success by using a minuscule number of plugins. If you can get away with doing so, you get much respect from me.
For the rest of us, plugins are a tempting proposition. They can take care of so many tasks – large and small. And they’re only a few clicks away.
But add too many and it can weigh down your site’s performance. Not to mention that every single thing you install adds another layer of complexity to the mix.
While there is no one-size-fits-all number of plugins you can or should run, there are some ways to tell if you’re past the limit. Here are a few factors to help you make that determination.
Computing power and network bandwidth are incredibly important factors in terms of performance. Yet, most often the only control designers have over them is when choosing a host (if one hasn’t already been chosen for us). If you have a choice, look for a provider that offers lots of both.
Beyond raw power, the server’s OS and related software also play a role. You’ll want to ensure you’re running PHP 7.x, as that’s been proven much faster than previous versions. Server-based caching and load balancing can provide a big boost if your host offers them.
As important as anything, though, is the type of hosting account you have. If it’s low-end shared hosting, you’re probably not going to get the same bang for your buck that you’d get with a higher-end VPS or dedicated setup. The more dedicated resources your site has, the more well-coded plugins you may be able to get away with using.
One of the truisms of code is that there is more than one way to make something work. But we also know that some techniques work a whole lot better than others. Consistent quality is so important as all it takes is one resource-hogging plugin to slow everything to a crawl.
The best way to figure out if a plugin has performance problems is to test it. There are a number of third-party testing suites out there that can provide you with a great picture – literally. You can access colorful graphs and charts that will tell you which plugins are taking the most time and resources on your site.
However, those of us with budgetary restrictions may not be able to afford this type of subscription service. Many are aimed at the enterprise market and are priced as such.
But all is not lost. To do some testing on the cheap, the free Query Monitor plugin will provide some insight into how your plugins, database, scripts and styles are performing. It also points out any PHP errors, which can be a factor in degraded performance.
If you do see that a specific plugin isn’t performing well, then that opens the door to testing out an alternative or digging deeper (which we’ll get to later).
A WordPress plugin can mean many things to many people. Not everyone will use them in the same way. And so developers often build plugins in a way that they feel will improve their chances of attracting users. Sometimes the result is a plugin that ends up being a bit like a Swiss army knife, with multiple functionalities included.
While a plugin that does a bit of everything can be great, it can also cause some bloat. On the other side of the coin, you’ll find that some plugins are rather small in scope and size – choosing to focus on just one particular feature.
The debate can be had of whether it’s better to run one plugin that does 20 things, or 20 plugins that each do one thing. Again, there really is no easy answer. It becomes a matter of testing performance.
One thing in favor of the Swiss army knife is that it could make troubleshooting easier. The more plugins you have to keep track of, the harder it can be to pinpoint issues.
One often-overlooked area of plugin performance is in paying attention to its settings. Some plugins run very quickly when tuned a certain way, while sputtering in other configurations.
For instance, I’ve worked with a popular security plugin (which I won’t name, but you may be able to guess) for a number of years. One of its core features is a “Live” mode that lets you see users currently browsing your website. It’s a seriously cool feature, but can also hinder performance on a busy site.
Turning this feature off boosts performance quite noticeably. And while using the plugin may mean taking a small performance hit otherwise, the added security is worth the tradeoff. But knowing how to set it up properly is half the battle.
As we’ve seen, there are a number of factors that can affect how plugins perform on a WordPress website. It’s the plugins themselves, how they interact with each other, how well they’ve been optimized and the server they’re installed on.
It’s rare to find two sites that are configured exactly the same. Therefore, the ideal number of plugins will vary for pretty much everyone. We can drive ourselves crazy trying to get our site down to only x number of plugins. I’d argue that it’s a waste of time to even worry about the number.
Rather, using plugins (or even custom code you’ve written yourself) is about getting the functionality you need and being willing to live with whatever tradeoffs that come with it.
Sometimes, a plugin will provide great functionality and terrible performance. In that case, you might want to look for a competitive product that is more balanced. Or it could be a matter of turning off certain features that are causing problems. The only way to know for sure is to test and retest.
In the end, the goal is to use only the plugins you need, while optimizing the ones you have to the fullest extent.
