Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In contrast to the deep fried chocolate bar, porridge has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, but its effect on cerebral blood flow has yet to be directly assessed.
This study will focus on the potential (patho)physiological cerebrovascular effects of the deep fried chocolate bar and porridge. The research question to be addressed in this study is "Does eating a deep fried chocolate bar or bowl of porridge induce changes in cerebral blood flow and cereborvascular reactivity in healthy adults?"
To assess the acute effects on eating either food on blood flow through the largest artery in the brain, the investigators will give healthy volunteers one regular-sized deep-fried chocolate bar or a bowl of porridge. Blood flow through the largest artery in the brain will be assessed using simple ultrasounds tests. The investigators aim to recruit 24 volunterrs who will visit twice, consuming a different food on each visit.
