Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare the acute effects of a single serving of dairy and non-dairy alternatives on post-treatment and post-meal glycemia, appetite, plasma amino acid concentrations, and gastrointestinal hormones levels.
Detailed Description:
In the past forty years, the prevalence of obesity in adults has doubled with nearly two thirds of Canadian adults currently overweight or obese. The global epidemic of obesity also makes certain individuals more vulnerable to common co-morbidities of obesity, such as type-2-diabetes. To combat these rising numbers, Health Canada released a new Canadian Food Guide (CFG) in 2019. One particular alteration to the new CFG includes dietary guidelines encouraging for an increased consumption of plant-based foods as protein rich sources, shifting away from the promotion of animal-based food products, such as dairy. However, many of the available plant-based substitutes in the market are highly processed with high amounts of sugar, fat, sodium, and additives compared to animal-based products. While literature has shown for plant-based foods to confer numerous health benefits, these are often plant-based foods that have been unprocessed, except for cooking. As the demand for plant-based products continues to grow annually, it is important to assess and compare various obesity and T2D related metabolic outcomes, such as glycemic regulation and appetite control, to better understand the physiological functionality of these products and what role they may or may not play in mitigating the obesity and T2D global epidemics. There is a growing body of evidence from clinical and meta-analysis trials that show dairy products reduce satiety and provide better glycemic control; highlighting their potential to help reduce risk factors associated with obesity and T2D. However, literature has mainly focused on nutrient profile or isolated protein comparatives between animal and plant-based sources. Instead, this study will be looking at comparing dairy products and their plant-based counterparts with respect to their food matrix as a whole, to understand what responses these products produce in the form consumers are naturally eating them by. This study will focus on assessing the metabolic outcomes related to satiety and glycemic regulation. Satiety is an important physiological function related to food intake, and thus, provides a measure to assess reduced obesity risk. Additionally, postprandial glycemic control is an important physiological function that is not only related to the development of type-2 diabetes but also satiety.
A total of 16 participants (8 males and 8 females) will participate in this study at the University of Toronto.
The study will include a total of 5 sessions over the span of 5 weeks. Prior to the visit, participants will be fasted for 12 hours, excluding water for up to 1 hour before the study visit. During each session, participants will consume a dairy product or a non-dairy plant-based product while subjective appetite, blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and gut hormones (ghrelin, GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP) are obtained post-treatment at 20 min and post a secondary fixed meal of pasta within 15-30 min intervals over a 2 hour timespan. Plasma amino acid concentrations will also be measured within the same timeline outlined above.
