Quinoa cookie trial: a tasty way to fight obesity?
NCT ID NCT07496320
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether replacing some ingredients in cookies with quinoa could help healthy adults maintain normal blood fat and sugar levels, potentially lowering the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Sixty healthy volunteers ate either a regular cookie or a quinoa-based cookie for 12 days, with a break in between. Researchers measured blood triglycerides, cholesterol, and insulin to see if the quinoa cookie helped keep these levels in a healthy range.
