Could everyday foods with antioxidants and fiber help prevent metabolic syndrome?

This study tests whether daily consumption of special food blends—made from apple and grape by-products, prebiotic fibers, oat beta-glucans, and omega-3s—can improve blood sugar, weight, and cholesterol in 40 adults at risk for metabolic syndrome. Participants eat the foods daily and attend clinic visits for blood tests and body measurements over the study period. The goal is to see if these functional foods can help control early signs of metabolic disease.
