Summary

This study measured how the body handles different nutrients—sugar, protein, and fats—by giving 147 healthy adults various food tolerance tests. Researchers tracked changes in hormones and other substances in the blood to understand nutrient processing patterns. The goal is to learn how different foods affect metabolism, which could eventually help improve diets for people with conditions like obesity and diabetes.
