#Prebiotic #diet changes neural correlates of #food decision-making in #overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial

However, little is known if these results are applicable to humans. Therefore, we tested the effects of high-dosed prebiotic fibre on reward-related food decision-making in a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over study and assayed potential microbial and… Continue reading #Prebiotic #diet changes neural correlates of #food decision-making in #overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial
