Sweet satiation: Acute effects of consumption of sweet drinks on appetite for and intake of sweet and non-sweet foods

Coffee but Not Caffeine Consumption Reduces the Reward Value of Coffee

“…These results are consistent with parallel findings for consumption of recently eaten versus recently uneaten foods 13,14,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and, for example, for consumption of sweet, fruit-flavored drinks versus water. 15 Unlike these studies, however, we did not find a robust decrease in taste pleasantness (liking), which is generally regarded as a hallmark of sensory-specific satiety effects. 16,18,21,22 If anything, the temporal pattern of effects for liking, namely a nonsignificant sensoryspecific satiety effect at 50 minutes, but no effect immediately after consumption, was opposite to what we predicted based on these previous studies.…”

“…On completion of their test session, each participant was paid £10 in compensation for the time they contributed to the study. We did not perform a formal power calculation; however, our decision on sample size was based on moderate effect sizes observed in our previous studies on sensory-specific satiety for drinks 15 and the psychoactive effects of caffeine. 7 The study was approved by the University of Bristol, Faculty of Science Human Research Ethics Committee.…”

“…A robust finding from studies on food reward is that during a meal, liking and desire to eat decrease much more for the eaten food than they do for uneaten foods. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] This phenomenon has been termed sensoryspecific satiety, 21 which is apt because the satiety (reduced reward value) is not fully specific to the eaten food, but generalizes to similar-tasting foods, for example, decreased desire and liking for savoury food, but not sweet food, after consumption of savoury food, and vice versa. Sensory-specific satiety also occurs for drinks, and it generalizes from drinks to foods.…”

“…Sensory-specific satiety also occurs for drinks, and it generalizes from drinks to foods. 15 Paralleling these studies of food reward and liking in relationship to sensory-specific satiety and hunger, the present study sought to investigate the effects of the consumption of coffee and caffeine on the reward value of and liking for coffee. Following ‡19 hours caffeine abstinence, participants consumed either coffee (decaffeinated) or water with a capsule containing either caffeine (150 mg) or placebo.…”

The Importance of Sweet Beverage Definitions When Targeting Health Policies—The Case of Switzerland

“…Other outcomes were also linked with consumption of low-calorie sweeteners, such as increased all-cause mortality [17] and increased glucose intolerance [18]. In contrast, evidence for a decreased desire for sweet foods [45], reduced appetite, and energy intake was suggested for some low-calorie sweeteners [46]. Clearly, there is a need to clarify the effects of low-calorie sweeteners, as they continue to be widely used to replace sugars in foods and beverages.…”
