Brief summary
This study evaluates the blood lipid and glucose response to two burgers: 1) A plant-based meat alternative burger and 2) a regular beef burger in a cross-over trial.
Detailed description
Postprandial blood lipids and glucose are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study evaluates the postprandial response to consuming a plant-based meat-alternative burger and a regular beef burger. Ten participants will consume each burger on separate days. Blood lipids, glucose, and blood pressure will be assessed for six hours after each condition.
Interventions
Consumption of beef (animal-based) vs pea (plant-based) burgers
