ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how eating more peanuts every day may affect brain and heart health in Black individuals. Researchers want to understand if increasing peanut consumption can help improve thinking skills and overall health, especially related to heart disease and high blood pressure.

To participate, you need to be between 18 and 50 years old and identify as either Black or White, with at least one biological parent of the same race. This study is open to both men and women. If you join, you’ll be part of a group that will monitor changes related to your health as you eat more peanuts. However, this trial is not for everyone; if you have a peanut allergy, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have certain health conditions, you may not be eligible. If you're interested, the study is currently recruiting participants, and you can learn more about what to expect if you decide to take part.
