Do Different Sweeteners Alter Satiety?
The article presents clinical research designed to study the effects of colas sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HCFS) on hunger and satiety. Patients 20-29 years of age drank isocaloric and diet colas after a standard breakfast and were given a set meal for lunch, in which free-sugar content of sucrose-sweetened colas were evaluated. The caloric beverages tended to partially limit energy intake at lunch, whereas the no-beverage and diet beverage did not.
