Study of Whey Powder Added to Bread and Its Effect on Blood Sugar in Healthy Adults Aged 19 to 35

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the impact of adding whey powder, a nutritious byproduct of cheese production, to bread on post-meal blood sugar levels. This study involves healthy adults aged 19 to 35 with normal body weight. The goal is to see how consuming different types of bread, including those enriched with whey powder, affects blood glucose after eating, as this has not been studied before. Participants will randomly receive four types of bread for breakfast on four consecutive days white bread, white bread with whey powder, whole wheat bread, and whole wheat bread with whey powder. Before each meal, fasting blood glucose will be measured, and participants will consume the entire bread portion within 15 minutes. Blood glucose levels will then be monitored at multiple points up to two hours after the meal. Throughout the study, researchers will record food intake and ensure participants avoid eating or drinking for 8 hours before breakfast and refrain from heavy physical activity during the study days. Measurements of body size and detailed dietary records will be taken daily. The main outcome is the blood glucose response during the two hours after eating. The study runs from August 2024 to March 2025 and involves 20 volunteers.
