Replacing white rice bars with peanuts as snacks in the habitual diet improves metabolic syndrome risk among Chinese adults: a randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: Including peanuts as a snack in the habitual diet in place of a refined-grain snack did not significantly change glycemic or lipid parameters, but improved overall MetS risk without promoting weight gain among Chinese adults at high risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Further larger-scale trials are needed to confirm these findings and elucidate underlying biological mechanisms.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03194152.
