Effects of a brown beans evening meal on metabolic risk markers and appetite regulating hormones at a subsequent standardized breakfast: a randomized cross-over study.

ABSTRACT:

Dietary prevention strategies are increasingly recognized as essential to combat the current epidemic of obesity and related metabolic disorders.
