Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy adults aged 18–75 with BMI 18.5–30 kg/m² who have no diagnosed diseases and are not on regular medications.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with diabetes, pregnancy, recent surgeries, or food allergies to any test ingredients may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study will examine how cookies containing brewers’ spent grain influence postprandial blood glucose levels. Twenty healthy volunteers from the Universidad Católica del Uruguay will participate after meeting inclusion criteria and providing informed consent. Participants will consume the test cookies, and their blood glucose response will be monitored to see if the brewers’ spent grain alters glucose absorption compared with standard cookies. The study aims to explore a sustainable ingredient option and its potential impact on glycemic response. No collaborators outside the lead institution are reported, and the study is conducted at the Universidad Católica del Uruguay in Montevideo.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could lead to healthier snack options with sustainable ingredients that do not raise blood sugar as much.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work in food science has shown that grain-based ingredients can modulate glycemic response, making this approach plausible but variable by formulation.
