Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the alteration of the human urine metabolome by means of diet and to compare the metabolic effects of the nutritionally healthy New Nordic Diet (NND) with an Average Danish Diet (ADD). The NND was designed a decade ago by scientists and chefs, based on local and sustainable foods, including fish, shellfish, vegetables, roots, fruit, and berries.
Importance of the article for the Red Tecnomifood
Metabolomic analysis of urine is increasingly used, in the context of nutritional studies, to detect the effects of diet on metabolism. In this study, two types of diet are compared. Different metabolic profiles are detected, both between diets and between times of the intervention.
