The Feasst study - Københavns Universitet. + 8400 måltider leveret til forskningsprojekt for at teste mænds sædkvalitet

Januar 2022 startede vi forskningsprojektet The Feasst study, sammen med forskere fra Københavns Universitet. Studiet gik kort fortalt ud på at en gruppe mænd skulle modtage hhv. uforarbejdet mad til hele ugen i en periode, hvorefter de så skulle modtage ultra forarbejdet mad i en periode. Juni 2022 afsluttede vi madleveringen til projektet og havde leveret over 8400 måltider og snack, samt +3000 drikkevare.

Hvorfor dette forskningsprojeket?

Det er kendt, at sædcellernes epigenetik kan ændres, når mænd udsættes for livsstilsændringer, såsom øget motion eller vægttab. Yderligere er disse epigenetiske ændringer blevet bemærket at forekomme steder på DNA'et, som kan påvirke deres børns sundhed og udvikling. Et livsstilsvalg, som vi stadig arbejder på at forstå hvilken indvirkning det har på kvaliteten og epigenetikken af sæd. Tidligere forskning på dyr har vist, at visse diæter hos kommende fædre potentielt kan føre til ændrede sundhedsresultater hos deres børn. For at hjælpe os med bedre at forstå, hvordan mænds nuværende moderne kost kan påvirke deres sædceller, har vi designet fødeindtagelsen og epigenetisk ændring i spermatozoer af enkelte individer og tvillinger, også kendt som FEASST-undersøgelsen.

Læs her hvad Study leader, Jessica Preston udtaler vedrørende samarbejdet med Mydietpal:

• We decided to choose Mydietpal as a food supplier for our nutrition research study due to the ability for Mydietpal to provide a truly bespoke service providing beginning to end solutions meeting exactly our needs. They were able to provide a complete service is terms of designing, implementing, and delivering menus meeting our stringent requirements as nutrition researchers. This included working with our research team to design meal boxes that would be both tasty and nutritionally precise, sourcing the ingredients we needed, producing and packaging large scales of hundreds of meals each week, and seamlessly delivering the meals to those who needed them. Working with Mydietpal took much of the stress out of running a nutrition research project as they were able to professionally handle all aspects of providing the right meals to our participants.


• Working with Mydietpal both prior to and during our large scale nutrition intervention was a seamless process. Chano and his team was receptive and communicative, providing all of the details and expertise needed to provide full food provision services. It was clear that the Mydietpal team had extensive experience in providing bespoke meal services, leaving no detail left unattended to.


• I was overwhelmingly satisfied with the service provided by Mydietpal and would surely collaborate with them again when working on another project requiring food preparation services. By working with Mydietpal, we gained a teamed of professionals who equally dedicated themselves to making sure our project ran as it should. We greatly benefited from their expertise in nutrition, food preparation, food packaging, menu development, and food supply chains. I can say that Mydietpal’s contribution was a big part of our project’s success.
