Completed

• Conditions: Healthy Adults
• Interventions: Other: Glucose; Other: Sucrose; Other: Arenga Pinnata Sugar

• Registration Number: NCT01240837
• Lead Sponsor: Wageningen University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine by how much, the ingestion of palm sugar increases blood glucose concentrations and what the corresponding glycaemic index is. The investigators estimate that the glycaemic index will be 68 (equal to that of sucrose).
