Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of habituation to diets with different types of carbohydrate (simple-carb, refined-carb, unrefined-carb) on selected Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk indicators.

Detailed description

The objective of this pilot study is to determine the relative comparability for an isocaloric exchange of (1) refined-carb for simple-carb and (2) refined-carb for unrefined-carb, on established and emerging CVD risk indicators. To achieve this goal, subjects with moderate dyslipidemia (LDL cholesterol \> 100mg/dL) will consume diets enriched in 3 types of carbohydrate (simple-carb, refined-carb and unrefined-carb) according to a randomized, cross-over design.

Conditions

• Dyslipidemia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Diet	Unrefined-carbohydrate refers to foods made with 100% whole grains (wheat, rice, corn). Refined-carbohydrate refers to foods made with white flour (e.g., bread, pasta) or white rice. Simple-carbohydrate refers to foods made with sucrose (50% glucose/50% fructose) and high-fructose corn syrup.
