Overweight and obesity in children is becoming an increasingly common problem due to the increased access to processed food, overly high energy density diet, and limitation of physical activity in children. Such trends in today’s society lead to health consequences that can be observed in the early stages of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Reduction of body weight and changes in eating habits can prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. Recently, the benefits of consuming products containing resistant starch, which has the main advantage of influencing the metabolic pathway of glucose, have been increasingly underlined.

To date, no recommendations have been made for the daily intake of resistant starch or its content in individual products available on the food market. However, in the medical literature, there are an increasing number of reported cases of the beneficial effect of consuming resistant starch as a factor that supports glycaemic control in children with carbohydrate disorders.

Unfortunately, the above topic requires further research in this direction, especially in the developmental age population, which will allow the formulation of precise conclusions regarding its use in the prevention of overweight, obesity, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, and the development of diabetes.
