The proposed study will be conducted in humans according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All subjects will review and sign an Informed Consent Form approved by the Illinois Institute of Technology's Institutional Review Boards (IRB) prior to screening. This is a single-center,

A. Specific Aims: While a diet low in fermentable oligo, di, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) has gained popularity as a treatment for patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and diarrhea (IBS-D), the impact of this diet on patients with IBS and constipation (IBS-C) is unknown. We propose a

Polyphenol rich plant foods have been associated with several health benefits but their bioavailability is generally low. The majority of plant polyphenols are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and enter the colon where the colonic microbiota metabolise them to release a range of phenolic

The purpose of this study is to determine: 1) how the gut bacteria of exclusively breastfed infants changes in response to ingesting solid foods; 2) how infant cognition develops in response to ingesting solid foods; and 3) the relationship between infant gut bacteria and infant cognition during the

The aging of the U.S. population presents a number of challenges, many of which that can be addressed through nutritional approaches. Postmenopausal women are particularly at-risk for a number of diseases such as osteoporosis (By 2020 it is estimated that 50 percent of women at 50 years and older

The study is a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind cross-over trial designed to determine the gastrointestinal (GI) responses and maximum tolerated dose of erythritol in young children as a single oral dose in a beverage in-between meals. The children were divided into 4 dose groups. In each

This study is a single-center, randomized, cross-over, 4-arm, single- blinded, 6-hour postprandial study to evaluate the effects of strawberry or comparator fruit provided in a formulated beverage with milk (as the base) or water or fresh/pureed. A planned sample size of 10 men and women will be

Study Design: Randomized, postprandial, crossover, double-blind intervention with three arms. Subjects: Sixteen healthy adults Product studied: At each arm, participants consume 60g of strawberry jam: - High-sugar jam (traditional; HS), - Low-sugar jam (without added-sugar; LS), - Low-sugar jam

The specific aims are to: 1. Assess the effect of WGP compared to placebo on biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation in obese subjects over 4 week intervention periods in a randomized, cross-over, double-blind study. 2. Determine the effects of WGP compared to placebo on lipid and

Sample: Fifteen adult athletes from the Portuguese Athletic Federation will be invited to participate in this study. They must be healthy and lactose tolerant. Athletes will be voluntary and should receive an explanatory document with the aims of the study. They must also sign an informed consent to

The main study is a single-center, randomized, cross-over, 4-arm, dose-response, single- blinded, 6-hour postprandial study to evaluate the ability of strawberry powder to block meal-induced oxidative stress and inflammation and concomitantly improve postprandial insulin sensitivity and glucose

Recruitment: Subjects for the study were sourced primarily from the University Hospital of the West Indices (Diabetic Clinic) and from the Diabetes Association of Jamaica Outreach Centers in Kingston and St. Catherine. Volunteers were also recruited through clinical visits and by opportunistic

In this 3-month pilot study, we will introduce to 40 adolescents "at risk for overweight" (i.e., a BMI/age >85th percentile), a structured meal plan consisting of meal replacements, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and dairy products. We will encourage and invite at least one parent to
