Study of Raisins Versus Alternative Snacks on Cardiovascular Risk Factors In Generally Healthy Subjects

This trial compares the effects of raisin intake on cardiovascular risk factors compared to
common, commercially available, alternative snacks. These cardiovascular risk factors
include glucose, blood pressure, lipid levels, body weight, and waist circumference. The
expected outcomes are: reductions in plasma glucose, both after a meal and in a fasting
state; and reductions in body weight. The following risk factors may also show improvement:
systolic or diastolic blood pressure; waist circumference or BMI; serum total or
LDL-cholesterol.
