Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study has two main aims: 1) To determine if ingestion of solid or beverage food forms will change appetite hormone responses, and 2) To determine whether "learning" (defined as 2 week daily consumption) about the metabolic consequence of ingesting solid or beverage foods forms varying in energy alters appetite hormone responses.

Beverage consumption has been implicated in the problem of obesity. However, the exact relationship between beverages, lower appetitive response and lower compensatory dietary responses remains unclear. This study aims to address this gap in the research. For aim 1, the null hypothesis is that the energy in beverage and solid forms will not affect appetite hormonal responses differently. The alternative hypothesis is that exposure to the energy-yielding beverage will elicit a lower appetitive hormone response compared to oral exposure to the solid food form. For aim 2, the null hypothesis is that learning will not change appetite hormone responses. The alternative hypothesis is that learning will decrease appetite hormone responses in the non-energy-yielding beverage more than in the energy-yielding beverage.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main aims will be studied in 3 phases. In phase 1,the unconditioned cephalic phase responses of participants to nutritive and non-nutritive beverage and solid food forms will be determined. In phase 2, participants will consume a randomly allocated solid food or beverage (either nutritive or non-nutritive) consecutively for 2 weeks. In phase 3, (which will occur immediately after the end of Phase 2), participants will be retested for their cephalic phase responses to determine if there is an effect of learning on appetite hormone response.

Not Learned: Non-nutritive bev to Nutritive bev

15 participants will be randomly assigned to eat 250 grams of non-nutritive solid consecutively for 2 weeks. After this conditioning, the cephalic phase response of half of these participants will be tested against a nutritive solid and act as a control for the learned effects.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Learned: Non-nutritive beverage to Non-nutritive beverage

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

For the learning phase of the experiment, random allocation will assign about 15 participants to consume a beverage product made with non-nutritive sweetener everyday for two weeks.Half of these participants will then be tested against a non-nutritive beverage.

Not Learned: Nutritive solid to Non-Nutritive solid

15 participants will be randomly assigned to eat 250 grams of nutritive solid consecutively for 2 weeks. After this conditioning, the cephalic phase response of half of these participants will be tested against a non-nutritive solid and act as a control for the learned effects.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
