Summary

This study looks at how eating chestnuts affects blood sugar and insulin levels after a meal in healthy adults. Researchers want to see if chestnuts, which are high in fiber and starch, can help manage blood sugar better than other foods. Fifteen healthy adults will participate in this crossover trial, where each person tries both the chestnut and a control meal. The goal is to gather initial evidence on chestnuts' potential health benefits in humans.
