Items this document does not state (10)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Mice fed a high-fat diet mixed with protein derived from freeze-dried tofu or resistant protein showed reduced weight gain and less severe fatty liver. The proposed mechanism is an increase in intestinal azelaic acid resulting from the response of gut bacteria, increased GLP-1 production in the ileum and the promotion of fat burning.
