Plants Optimizing Development Study (PODS)
Sponsor: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Summary
This study aims to conduct a randomized clinical trial to measure the effects of a 3-month daily mixed-soy food intervention vs. a control group receiving isocaloric foods on reproductive hormones, body composition, metabolic risk, fecal microbiota, and cognition among 8-11-year-old children. Additionally, this study will assess soy food intake immediately following participation in the clinical trial to determine changes in soy food acceptance in children.
