Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Motivational Ratings

    Participants will rate their hunger, thirst, nausea, mouth dryness, desire to eat, desire to drink using nine point category scales. The unipolar adjective scales were anchored at each end with labels: 1 = not at all and 9 = extremely. Participants also rated their liking for the beverage along nine point hedonic preference scales where 1 = dislike extremely and 9 = like extremely

    1 day

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Food Behavior After Intervention

    1 day

  • Amount of water ingested

    1 day

Study Arms (3)

Group 1 - Crossover

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will drink water in the 1st study.

Behavioral: Effect of ingestion sugary and sweetened drinks on thirst

Group 2 - Crossover

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will drink Pineapple Soda in the 1st study

Behavioral: Effect of ingestion sugary and sweetened drinks on thirst

Group 3 - Crossover

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will drink Pineapple Diet Soda in the 3rd study

Behavioral: Effect of ingestion sugary and sweetened drinks on thirst

Interventions

Effect of ingestion sugary and sweetened drinks on thirstBEHAVIORAL

The participants will drink Water (control group), Decarbonized Pineapple Soda (11% sugar)and Decarbonized Pineapple Diet Soda (1% Sugar and Sucralose). The beverages will be presented chilled but without ice in 500 ml portions in opaque plastic containers and participants will be asked to consume the entire amount within 15 min. The beverages will be tested previously in laboratory in order to obtain their pH and osmolality.

Also known as: Effect of ingestion of water, soda and diet soda on thirst, Diferences between sweeteners and sugar on thirst
