Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The proposed study will be a randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm study. Participants will incorporate snack foods (bar/yogurt) containing 16 grams of fiber (fructooligosaccharide) or similar snack foods without the added fiber into their usual diets. The study period will include a 2-week pre-baseline assessment period and an 8-week treatment period. During the 2-week pre-baseline period no study foods will be consumed however dietary intake will be assessed using a 24-hour online diet recall program. The first week of the 8-week treatment will serve as an acclimation period where only one serving of the study foods will be given (8 grams of fiber) per day. Participants will receive two servings (16 grams of fiber) per day for weeks 2 through 8 of the treatment period and 24-hour online diet recalls will be completed during weeks 4, 6 and 8. Hypothesis: Adults aged 18 to 50 years consuming their usual diet modified by incorporating yogurt and snack bars containing 16 grams of chicory root fiber (Frutalose®) will decrease their usual dietary intake to a greater extent compared to participants who receive similar snack foods without the added fiber.
