Jessie Inchauspé, self-proclaimed “goddess of glucose”, is a social media star with nearly 5 million subscribers on Instagram, more than judoka Teddy Riner and Emmanuel Macron. She claims that glucose is poison to the human body, a message she widely spreads through popular videos in France and the United States. Is glucose really so dangerous for your health, and what about the validity of its advice?
Mathilde Tauvier, Director of Research in Nutritional Epidemiology at Inserm, explains that studies have shown links between a diet with a high glycemic index and increased risks of diabetes, certain cancers, cardiovascular diseases and mortality. However, she has reservations about the importance of glucose spikes after meals, emphasizing that the human body is naturally capable of regulating these fluctuations.
The influencer recommends eating foods in a specific order to reduce glucose levels, but her advice is considered to have little scientific support by diabetes specialists. His method, a mixture of common sense and marketing, lacks solid evidence. Jessie Inchauspé also sells food supplements for around 60 euros per month, but refused to answer our questions.
