Breakfast shake study reveals how fats may tweak your immune system

NCT ID NCT07502898

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how eating fat every day from either dairy or plants changes the body's immune response. Thirty-nine healthy adults aged 40-70 will drink a high-fat shake and have blood tests before and after a month of daily smaller shakes. The goal is to see if repeated fat exposure alters inflammation markers like IL-6.
