NCT02342340

Brief Summary

This is a single site, blinded, randomized, controlled study designed to examine phytochemical absorption, metabolism and excretion, as well as vascular health and satiety, after ingestion of 4 different bean varieties (pinto, navy, red kidney, black). Eligible participants will attend 6 in-person clinic visits for comparative testing of the 4 bean varieties versus lentils and rice.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Composite measure of Absorption, Metabolism and Excretion of Phytochemicals

    Blood and urine samples will be analyzed using a differential analysis for metabolites (p\<0.01 and fold changes ≥ 2) which will be achieved via principle component analysis (PCA), and partial least square (PLS).

    Timepoint 0 (prior to consumption), 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 4 and 6 hours post consumption

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Changes in parameters of arterial stiffness through pulse wave analysis (PWA)

    Time points 0 (prior to consumption) and 2 and 6 hours post consumption.

  • Satiety Questionnaire

    5 hours after consumption of study product

Study Arms (6)

Navy Beans (cooked)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

At one of the six visits, participants will consume a ¾ cup of cooked navy beans. Participants will be provided with 100 ml of water with the food, and will be allowed to drink water whenever necessary during the 6 hour test period. The participants will not be blinded to the order and the type of food product they receive at a visit, however, the samples will be assigned a number to ensure the analytical team is blinded to the test product until the end of the study. Should the need to re-administer a test product arise, the participant will receive the test product from the same treatment number again at an extra visit after the original 6 visits have been completed.

Other: Navy Beans (cooked)

Red Kidney Beans (cooked)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

At one of the six visits, participants will consume a ¾ cup of cooked red kidney beans. Participants will be provided with 100 ml of water with the food, and will be allowed to drink water whenever necessary during the 6 hour test period. The participants will not be blinded to the order and the type of food product they receive at a visit, however, the samples will be assigned a number to ensure the analytical team is blinded to the test product until the end of the study. Should the need to re-administer a test product arise, the participant will receive the test product from the same treatment number again at an extra visit after the original 6 visits have been completed.

Other: Red Kidney Beans (cooked)

Pinto Beans (cooked)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

At one of the six visits, participants will consume a ¾ cup of cooked pinto beans. Participants will be provided with 100 ml of water with the food, and will be allowed to drink water whenever necessary during the 6 hour test period. The participants will not be blinded to the order and the type of food product they receive at a visit, however, the samples will be assigned a number to ensure the analytical team is blinded to the test product until the end of the study. Should the need to re-administer a test product arise, the participant will receive the test product from the same treatment number again at an extra visit after the original 6 visits have been completed.

Other: Lentils (cooked)

White Rice (cooked)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

At one of the six visits, participants will consume a ¾ cup of cooked white rice. Participants will be provided with 100 ml of water with the food, and will be allowed to drink water whenever necessary during the 6 hour test period. The participants will not be blinded to the order and the type of food product they receive at a visit, however, the samples will be assigned a number to ensure the analytical team is blinded to the test product until the end of the study.
