Summary

Our proposal represents an integrated approach to determining the cardiovascular and metabolic effects of strawberry consumption in adults who have high risk for cardiometabolic disease.

Detailed description

The current proposal aims to fill some of these important research gaps with regard the dose and time-course of strawberry consumption in a population where dietary intervention may of particular benefit for both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. Participants will participate in a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover trial. Following a 10-day run-in where no berries are consumed, participants will be randomized via Latin-square design, to three different daily strawberry powder conditions for 4-weeks at a time, with a 7 day washout between conditions.

Conditions

• Obesity
• Metabolic Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Active strawberry powder	Participants will drink a strawberry beverage with active ingredients once a day during the 4-week intervention period.
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Placebo strawberry powder	Participants will drink a strawberry placebo beverage once a day during the 4-week intervention period.
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Mixed strawberry powder	Participants will drink a mixed strawberry beverage with active ingredients and placebo once a day during the 4-week intervention period.
