Diabetes Prevention, Obesity Prevention
Conditions
Brief summary
The objectives are to test the acute effects of different cereals containing pulse ingredients on: 1) post-prandial blood glucose, insulin and appetite for two hours, and 2) food intake two hours following consumption of pulse products. We hypothesize that cereals containing pulse ingredients will lead to lower blood glucose, insulin, appetite and food intake responses compared to non-pulse cereals.
