About this study

Postprandial blood lipids and glucose are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study evaluates the postprandial response to consuming a plant-based meat-alternative burger and a regular beef burger. Ten participants will consume each burger on separate days. Blood lipids, glucose, and blood pressure will be assessed for six hours after each condition.
