The purpose of this proof-of-concept study in humans is to determine if a noninvasive, ingestible device, called a "mini-pill", can collect gastrointestinal (GI) luminal content samples from 2 different locations along the GI tract after consumption of diets differing in protein source (meat and plant-based meat alternatives). The mini-pills will be recovered in the stool. We will analyze the microbial profile of the mini-pill contents and in stool, and also measure blood biomarkers related to cardiometabolic risk, to better understand the relationship between diet, microbiota and health.
