Brief summary

To compare changes in blood sugar levels (glycemic index) after consumption of bread made with the new wheat flour with the response obtained following consumption of bread manufactured from conventional wheat flour.

Interventions

All participants will be randomised to eat one meal of 100gm of bread from the new wheat flour (Yammamori) . There are 3 breads, 25%, 50% and 100% Yammamori wheat. The response to a reference carbohydrate (sugar drink) is used as a standard for comparison in these tests on 3 occasions due to the variability of the glucose response.
