The Latin name of the yacon plant is Smallanthus sonchifolius. Yacon is used to make syrup, but it can also be eaten like a sweet potato. In the U.S. it is already called 'diet potato' or 'diet potato'. The yacon root tuber inhibits appetite and is therefore a useful remedy for obesity. That while this root promotes the absorption of minerals; you eat less but get more nutrients! The root has probiotic effects. This means that good bacteria are stimulated in their growth, so that the mineral absorption can take place more efficiently.

-
A preliminary study conducted in Switzerland in 2008 led by M Geyer of the Department of Gastroenterology, University Hospital Basel, shows that the consumption of yacon syrup reduces the transit time of food in the intestines . In other words, bowel movements take place faster. This may be a good reason that obesity symptoms are reduced. However, more research is needed to confirm this data; the survey was conducted among 20 people, and that number is too small to draw definitive conclusions.
