Summary

The objectives of this study are the following: 1) to determine the effect of daily consumption of whole grain barley for six week on risk factors of cardiovascular disease compared to a diet low in whole grains, and 2) to compare the effects of daily consumption of whole grain barley to those of whole grain oats for six weeks to determine if the response to these two grains is different.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Daily ingestion of whole grain barley and oats

Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of three treatments: 1) a control diet containing 0.7 daily servings of whole grain, 2) a diet containing at least 4 daily servings of whole grain barley or 3) a diet containing at least 4 servings of whole grain oats. After 6 weeks, risk factors of cardiovascular disease will be assessed after a 12 hr fast. During the seventh week, risk factors of cardiovascular disease will be assessed in the postprandial state.
