Study Summary
This study will focus on improving brain health through dietary modification of added sugars in middle aged adults (50- 64 years old). Participants will be fed two 10-day diets (one diet containing 5% of total energy from added sugars and one diet containing 25% of total energy from added sugars) and examine blood vessel function, hippocampus structure using a MRI, and memory performance.
Primary Outcome
Change in cross-sectional area of the common carotid artery (assessed using ultrasound) per 1 mmHg increase in carotid artery blood pressure (assessed by applanation tonometry). A lower carotid artery compliance is indicative of stiffer elastic arteries.
