This study tests how eating ultra-processed foods for a short time affects your metabolism. If you are a healthy adult with a normal BMI, no diabetes, and no major dietary restrictions, you may be able to participate.
This study tests whether a specific diet and behavior program can help people with overweight improve their health. You will be asked to follow a specific eating plan and eat certain foods provided by the researchers.
This trial studies how different types of starch (carbohydrates) affect blood sugar control, inflammation, and gut health in people with insulin resistance. You may benefit if you are overweight, have insulin resistance, and are willing to follow a specific diet for 2 months.
This study looks at how people with different body weights digest and process sugar after a meal. Participants will eat a special breakfast and have blood and possibly stool tests to track a safe, low-dose radioactive label in the sugar. The goal is to understand why body weight affects sugar metabolism.
This study tests whether eating carbohydrates that digest slowly can naturally boost a hormone called GLP-1, which helps control blood sugar and appetite. Researchers want to understand if this might help people manage their weight and metabolism.
This study tests whether a special type of starch (resistant starch) can help improve memory and thinking in people who are middle-aged or older and have some memory concerns. It is for people who also carry extra weight around the waist or have a higher BMI.
