ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Food Biodiversity and Human Health," is studying how changes in diet, particularly the introduction of certain cereals like einkorn, can affect the bacteria in our mouths. Researchers want to see if a healthier diet can help reduce harmful bacteria linked to periodontal disease and other chronic illnesses, such as cancer. The trial aims to explore the relationship between our oral health and what we eat, highlighting the importance of a diverse and nutritious diet that includes more plant-based proteins.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 20 and 60 years old, follow an omnivorous diet (eating both animal and plant foods), and be willing to attend at least one cooking workshop. You must also have a body mass index (BMI) above 18. However, some people can't join, including those with certain health conditions, allergies, or who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. If you take part, you can expect to learn more about healthy eating while contributing to research that could improve oral and overall health for everyone.
