What you eat may show up in your brain: new study recruits vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters
NCT ID NCT07312994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether eating a vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore diet changes certain brain-related substances in the blood of healthy young adults. Researchers will measure two markers (NfL and GFAP) that can indicate brain cell health. The goal is simply to learn more, not to test a treatment. About 300 healthy people aged 18-40 who have followed their diet for at least one year can join.
