Filter by:This study compares effects of plant based fiber vs fungi based fiber on clinical outcomes related to gut function (immunity, emotions, stress) and explores the role of gut microbiome structure and function on individual responses.
People with chronic low-grade inflammation have a higher risk for certain diseases such as cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes. While it is known that obese people are more likely to show signs of low-grade inflammation than lean individuals, it is unclear what causes this inflammation. In the proposed study, the investigators will examine whether the sugar fructose, when consumed in a sweetened beverage, triggers low-grade inflammation in healthy men and women compared with other caloric sweeteners.
