Berries such as blackcurrants that are rich in polyphenols may influence carbohydrate digestion and absorption and thus postprandial glycaemia.

All interventions will be randomised and blinded as far as possible in a cross-over design where the volunteers are acting as their own control. The volunteers will be asked to consume a low phytochemical diet three days prior to taking the currants all occasions. In addition, they will be asked to record what they ate over the same period in a simple food diary.\n\nThe following intervention will be carried out on 16 overweight/obese male/postmenopausal female non-smoker volunteers:\n\n1.
