Study Summary

This trial is looking at whether or not dietary pulses, like beans, chickpeas, and lentils, have benefits for human health. Pulses are low in fat and high in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and consuming them has been linked with better blood sugar control and a reduced risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. However, it's hard to measure how much pulse someone has eaten, because current methods for dietary assessment are not very accurate. This study is trying to see if there are any biomarkers in human subjects that could be used to measure dietary pulse intake more accurately.
