Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the postprandial glucose and insulin responses after different fruit snacks compared to confection control in a healthy population

Detailed Description

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

Fruit snacks made form sweetened dried fruits are great sources of polyphenols, fiber, and other nutrients. The addition of sugar could help the taste, texture, and shelf life of this type of product. Fruit snacks with different levels of sugar were developed to meet various consumer needs and the postprandial glucose response in healthy population compared with confection control is of interest to study.
