Abstract
Contemplated food products include compounds with cytokinin activity to modulate glucose and/or lipid metabolism, and in especially preferred aspects contemplated food products include one or more naturally occurring cytokinins (e.g., kinetin, N2-acetylguanine, zeatin, dihydrozeatin) at a concentration effective to prevent or treat pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes, syndrome X, and/or dyslipidemia. Methods of marketing such products are also contemplated.

A method of providing a food product, comprising:
- providing a food product for human consumption, wherein the product is fortified with at least one of an isolated cytokinin and a cytokinin-containing composition;
- and
- providing an information that associates cytokinin content of the fortified food product with modulation of glucose metabolism and optionally further with modulation of lipid metabolism.
A food product that is associated with a first information that the product includes a cytokinin, and wherein the product is further associated with a second information that the cytokinin modulates glucose metabolism and optionally further modulates lipid metabolism.
A method of providing a food product, comprising determining a cytokinin content of the product, optionally increasing the cytokinin content, and providing the determined cytokinin content to a consumer.
