NCT ID NCT06847815
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how fresh and processed sweet corn affect blood sugar levels and hunger. About 45 healthy adults will eat different sweet corn products and have their blood sugar measured over two hours. The goal is to find out which types of sweet corn have a lower glycemic index, which could help people make better food choices for blood sugar control.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help people choose sweet corn products that cause smaller blood sugar spikes, aiding in diabetes prevention and weight management.
