Detailed Description:

The aim of the proposed study is two-fold: to determine whether the intake of peanuts (a) enhances immune function and (b) produces a desirable impact on selected cardiometabolic biomarkers and risk factors . To accomplish this objective, a human dietary intervention trial (RCT) with peanuts is proposed. The proposed study is a 12-week parallel-group, free-living, observer-blind, randomized controlled dietary intervention trial. This study will examine the effects of peanuts on markers of immune function, cardiometabolic markers and risk factors and upper respiratory tract infections, in 80 adult male and female volunteers.

Study Type : INTERVENTIONAL
Estimated Enrollment : 80 participants
Masking : DOUBLE
Masking Description : The investigator and outcome assessor will not be aware which participant is in what arm. The participant and the care provider will know about the treatment allocation.
