First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether eating quinoa and buckwheat instead of rice or bulgur helps overweight adults lose weight and improve their gut bacteria. 148 healthy adults aged 25-45 with a BMI between 25 and 35 took part. Researchers measured weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, and gut microbiome changes. The goal was to see if these grains offer extra health benefits beyond a standard diet.
