A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming foods with hard, crunchy, or chewy textures can aid in weight loss by slowing down eating speed and reducing food consumption. Researchers discovered that individuals who ate crunchier meals consumed 26% fewer calories, regardless of the level of food processing.

A study conducted at the University at Buffalo found a significant correlation between chewing functionality and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Patients with T2D who had good chewing ability had lower blood glucose levels compared to those with compromised chewing function.

Addressing oral health has become part of the approach to managing diabetes, along with maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet, and quitting smoking.
