The present invention provides a novel method for inhibiting sugar-induced weight gain resulting from fructose and glucose driven lipogenesis. The method for inhibiting sugar-induced weight gain is comprised of administering a composition comprising a mixture of Free-B-Ring flavonoids and flavans synthesized and/or isolated from a single plant or multiple plants, preferably in the Scutellaria and Acacia genus of plants to a host in need thereof. The present also includes novel methods for the prevention and treatment of diseases and conditions resulting from high carbohydrate ingestion. The method for preventing and treating these sugar-induced diseases and conditions is comprised of administering to a host in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a mixture of Free-B-Ring flavonoids and flavans synthesized and/or isolated from a single plant or multiple plants, preferably in the Scutellaria and Acacia genus of plants and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
A method for inhibiting fructose-induced weight gain comprising administering to a host in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprised of a mixture of an extract of a plant containing Free-B-Ring flavonoids and an extract of a plant containing flavans, wherein the active ingredients in said mixture comprise at least baicalin and catechin and wherein said mixture contains no ephedra, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or ephedrine like substance.
