Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: An 8-week free-living dietary intervention, based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans and driven by the Social Cognitive Theory, was conducted in young adults (18-28 years old) at West Virginia University. Individuals were recruited if they had pre-existing poor nutritional habits. A metabolic syndrome risk screening score was given to participants at baseline to measure "risk" status for chronic disease. Subjects (n=36) were randomized into one of three nutritional intervention groups; 1) "FRUVED" (50% fruit \& vegetable), 2) "FRUVED+LRC" (50% fruit \& vegetable plus low refined carbohydrate), and 3) "FRUVED+LF" (50% fruit \& vegetable plus low fat). Anthropometrics, surveys, venous blood samples and body composition were collected before and after the intervention. Group nutrition education including basic nutrition for the prescribed intervention, culinary tool kit distribution, sample budget and grocery shopping tips were successfully delivered to each participant group prior to the start of the intervention. Participants underwent individual weekly consultations with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist using food logs, food pictures and receipt management, to assess adherence and cost of the intervention.
Specific Aim: Identify novel metabolomic and microbiome phenotypes in response to fruit and vegetable diet intervention in young adults with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Hypothesis 1: Diet consisting of 50% fruit \& vegetable consumption (FRUVED diet) will improve metabolic health as evidenced by lower plasma concentrations of adipokines, inflammatory mediators, and ceramides.
Hypothesis 2. Diet induced changes in the metabolome and micobiome will reveal novel phenotypes that have the potential to be used as new diagnostic biomarkers to distinguish between MetS and healthy adolescents.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
FRUVED
Individuals that are at risk for metS and those with metS went through an 8-week dietary intervention called FRUVEDomics to increase fruit and vegetable consumption measuring metabolome and microbiome markers with health-related behaviors. In this arm, individuals were assigned to a diet with 50% fruit and vegetables.
FRUVEDomics
FRUVEDomics is a behavioral nutrition intervention in young adults 'at risk for metS' and young adults 'with metS' to identify modifiable metabolomics and microbiome risk. Group nutrition education including basic nutrition for the prescribed intervention, culinary tool kit distribution, sample budget and grocery shopping tips were delivered to each participant group prior to the start of the intervention. Participants underwent individual weekly consultations with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist using food logs, food pictures and receipt management, to assess adherence and cost of the intervention.
FRUVED + LRC
Individuals at risk for metS and those with metS went through an 8-week dietary intervention called FRUVEDomics to increase fruit and vegetable consumption measuring metabolome and microbiome markers with health-related behaviors. In this arm, individuals were assigned to a diet of 50% fruit and vegetables plus low refined carbohydrates.
