Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study determined the effects light, medium, and dark roasted, brewed coffees on blood glucose responses in normal (n = 19) subjects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single-blinded, randomized partial block design conducted over 6 weeks in two parts.

In part 1 (3 weeks), participants were randomly assigned to consume four beverages: a placebo containing water and caramel color, light, medium, or dark roast coffee before, during, or after consumption of a beverage containing 50 g of glucose.

In part 2 (3 weeks), participants were randomly assigned to consume four beverages: a placebo containing water and caramel color, light, medium, or dark roast coffee before, during, or after consumption of a standardized breakfast (corn flakes cereal + skim milk) containing 50 g of glucose.

In each part, fasting and postprandial glucose profiles were determined.
