Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study will also investigate:
* Identify the most effective beverage for hydration and the potential cognitive and mood benefits.
* To test if these beverages have any effect on gastric emptying
* To test if these beverages have any effect on appetite.
* To test the acceptability and palpability of semi-skimmed milk, milk permeate, and water in primary school-aged children.
Participants will:
* Take part in three study days (one for each beverage)
* Study day will take part between 9:00AM-12:30PM
* Participants will also record their food and fluid consumption the day before and consume a standardised breakfast before each trial.
* The beverage hydration index will be calculated as the mass of urine collected following control (water) consumption divided by the mass of urine collected following treatment.
* Blood and urine samples will be taken to measure hydration
* Breath samples will be taken for gastric emptying rate
* COMPASS (Computerised Mental Performance Assessment System), fNIRS (Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy) and visual analogue scales (VAS) measures will be obtained to assess cognition/mood
* An ad libitum pasta meal will be consumed after the trial to measure appetite, along with blood glucose and GLP-1 and further VAS to measure self reported hunger and fullness.
* A focus group will be held following completion of all three beverage trials, to gather participants opinion of each drink.
