WHNRC (Western Human Nutrition Research Center) Honey Study
Running, not enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Postprandial Glycemia, Metabolic Stress, Cognitive Change, Satisfaction, Personal
In brief
The purpose of this research is to compare two snacks, one with honey and nuts and the other with sugar and nuts, on glucose levels before and after eating these snacks. The investigators hypothesize that honey and nuts will have an additive effect on the reduction of postprandial glucose response. The investigators further hypothesize that consumption of honey paired with nuts will retain the benefit of sugar consumption in satiety and reduction of metabolic stress.
