Sugars-sweetened Commercial Beverages on Short-term Food Intake

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Obesity
Registration Number
NCT01717703
Lead Sponsor
Toronto Metropolitan University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this experiment was to describe the effect of consuming 350 ml of 1% chocolate milk 60 minutes before a pizza meal on subjective appetite and short-term food intake when compared to cola, a fruit drink and a water control in normal weight and overweight/obese 9-14 year old boys and girls. It is hypothesized that 1% chocolate milk will increase meal time satiation to a greater extent than other sugars-sweetened commercially available beverages. Food intake will be measured 60 minutes after the consumption of 350 ml of water, fruit drink, cola or 1% chocolate milk.
