Zero Pastry is good for the brain

It has recently been confirmed that excess glucose is toxic to the brain and increases vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases. This was the result presented at the 30th National Congress of the Italian Society of Diabetology (SID) held in Rimini from October 23 to 26, 2024.

For proper functioning, the brain needs a continuous and measured supply of glucose, which naturally increases after a meal and more so when carbohydrates and sugars are consumed, but it must remain within a certain level.

We remind you that glucose levels are regulated by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin, in moderate amounts, also plays an important role in protecting neurons, helping and modulating their functions. However, at elevated levels (in response to increased glucose levels), it can promote the formation of molecules harmful to the brain.

Naturally, the alarm is greater for diabetic individuals who associate excess glucose in the blood with other metabolic factors.

Our PASTICCERIA ZERO line was created in response to this need. The products in this line contain ERYTHRITOL instead of sugar (sucrose). ERYTHRITOL is a natural sweetener, and one of its key characteristics is that it has a negligible glycemic index, which does not cause fluctuations in blood sugar or insulin levels.

Our goal was naturally to create delicious cakes and desserts easily and with excellent results using PASTICCERIA ZERO! And we believe we have succeeded.
