Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if consumption of bagels made with resistant starch for 8 weeks can improve markers of type 2 diabetes, colon cancer and satiety in adults.

Detailed description

Using a randomized, double-blind crossover study design, we will determine the effect of consuming bagels made with resistant starch daily for 8-weeks can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and colon cancer in an adults who are at an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Additionally, we will compare the satiating effect of these bagels to that of a standard bagel.

Interventions

OTHERResistant Starch

In a randomized crossover fashion, participants will consume bagels that are made with either high-resistant starch or standard wheat flour, daily for a period of 8 weeks, with a 4 week washout period.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Fasting and postprandial blood glucoseup to day 57 of both treatment periodsBlood glucose will be measured in the fasting state and postprandially (during a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test) on the first and last study days of both treatment periods.
Fasting and postprandial insulinup to day 57 of both treatment periodsCirculating insulin will be measured in the fasting state and postprandially (during a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test) on the first and last study days of both treatment periods.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
HbA1cDay 1 and 57 of both treatment periodsHbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) will be measured from fasting blood drawn on days 1 and 57 of both treatment periods.
Calculated insulin sensitivity and beta-cell functionDays 1 and 57 of both treatment periodsData will be used from 3-hour oral glucose tolerance tests performed on days 1 and 57 of both treatment periods.
Satiety-producing effectDay 2,3 or 4 of both treatment periodsAfter study bagel consumption as part of a standard breakfast, questionnaires will be used to quantify subjective measures of satiety, and weighted food records will be used to objectively measure food intake for the rest of the day.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Sensory response to study bagelsDays 15, 29, 43 and 57 of both treatment periodsQuestionnaires will be used to measure the participants' responses to the aroma, appearance, taste and texture of the study bagels.
Body weightDays 1, 15, 29, 43 and 57 of both treatment periodsBody weight will be measures at every study visit.
Resistant starch bagel toleranceDays 15, 29, 43 and 57 of both treatment periodsQuestionnaires about bagel tolerance, including subjective ratings of tolerance and any adverse events will be completed every 2 weeks throughout both treatment periods (adverse events will be recorded as often as needed).
Fasting serum lipidsOn days 1 and 57 of both treatment periodsTotal-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides will be measured from fasted blood samples on days 1 and 57 of both treatment periods.
3-Day food recordsOver 3 days during the week before the study start date, and the week before study day 29 of both treatment periods.Participants will complete 3-day food records a total of 3 times throughout the study to provide information about their background nutrient intake and dietary habits.
