Experimental Treatment
Group I: Methionine bioavailability in WheatExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be seen initially for pre-study assessment (3 hour). They will then be studied for up to 7 times. You could be expected to participate in up to 7 different sets of experiments which will take 8 weeks to 6 months. Each set of experiment consists of a 3 day period. During the first 2 days (Adaptation Days) you will be expected to consume 4 meals per day consisting of a protein liquid drink and protein freecookies and/or Wheat bread which will be provided by the investigators

During the first 2 days (Adaptation Days) you will be expected to consume 4 meals per day consisting of a protein liquid drink and protein freecookies and/or Rice which will be provided by the investigators
