Lipid and Glucose Response to Plant-based and Regular Burgers

Assessment of Postprandial Response After Consumption of Plant-based Burgers

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.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Body mass index 25 or higher
