The purpose of the research is to assess the dose-dependent impacts of the consumption of fresh pork on blood-borne metabolites (markers) following the controlled feeding of pork
Eligible participants will follow 3 randomly ordered 4-week feeding periods varying only with the consumption of 0, 3 or 6 oz of pork or a 50:50 blend of chicken and beef (6, 3 and 0 oz for respective trials to ensure similar total poultry/meat intake among trials).
