NUTRACORE, Glycaemic Index and Appetite

Following International standards ISO 26642 guidelines, subjects (at fasting) will have their glycemia measured and after will consume a solution containing 50g of glucose and 100g of water. In the following 2 hours, glycemia and other blood parameters will be taken 6 times (at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes). This protocol is repeated twice within 3 months. After these 2 days, with the same methods, they will come to our clinic to test 3 different recipes of biscuits (characteristics are presented on request). Subjects and investigators are not blinded to these biscuits characteristics.

"After the assessment of fasting parameters, subjects will consume recipe 4 (chocolate biscuits) and perform a 180 min curve with blood taken at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes. In this case, both investigators and patients are blinded to the presence of an additional non-nutritive, non-toxic and without taste encapsulated bitter compound (artemisia absinthium), that could be present in recipe 4 or recipe 5. On the second day (with at least a week gap), patients will consume recipe 5. Questionnaires and a food diary will also be requested for subjects for lunch and dinner."

Same as previous group, but starting with recipe 5
