Published purpose

Targeted lifestyle interventions are the safest and most economic approaches for both prevention and treatment of obesity, exhibiting potential for multi-faceted health and metabolic benefits. Dietary fiber contributes to weight control and blood glucose management through a variety of mechanisms (delayed nutrient absorption, increased satiety, stimulation of gut hormones that regulate food intake) and may also beneficially modulate the intestinal microbiota, which combined may confer a health benefit to the host. This project builds from clinical work initiated by University of Calgary and is focused on the research and development of fiber fortified products that could promote weight management and improved health of humans.
