Although it is well known that alcohol consumption is consumed by an enormous amount of empty calories, a recent study found a link between tequila and loss of kilograms.

According to the American Association of American Chemical Society, who studied the effects of tequila at the level of blood glucose, it seems that the sugar that can be found in agave (from which tequila products) can help lower the blood sugar level.

During the study, the researchers found that mice who drank water with added agave (agave sugar) after a meal were ultimately eating less and had a lower blood sugar level than mice who did not receive agave. Also, mice that consumed agave produced a hormone called GLP-1, which prolongs the feeling of satiety and produces insulin. That's why researchers believe that agavin might be very beneficial to people with type 2 diabetes, as well as people who struggle with excessive weight.
