Summary

This study tested whether eating fortified biscuits and cookies daily for nine weeks could lower inflammation in 62 adults with abdominal obesity and cardiometabolic risk. Participants ate either fortified or standard biscuits and cookies, and researchers measured inflammatory markers in the blood. The goal was to see if these functional foods could help prevent heart disease and diabetes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
fortified biscuits and cookies containing fibres, polyphenols, omega-3, and slow digestible starch
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary approach to lower inflammation and reduce cardiometabolic risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 62 participants, and the effects may not be large or long-lasting. Dietary interventions often show modest results.
