Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in the connectivity in the default mode and salience network: glucose and fructose vs. sucralose and allulose.

    Six minutes before (baseline) and 12 minutes after (response) test product intake

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • 2. Change from baseline in the connectivity in the default mode and salience network: glucose vs. fructose.

    Six minutes before (baseline) and 12 minutes after (response) test product intake

  • 3. Change from baseline in the connectivity in the default mode and salience network: allulose vs. sucralose.

    Six minutes before (baseline) and 12 minutes after (response) test product intake

Other Outcomes (2)

  • 4. Change from baseline in the connectivity in the default mode and salience network: glucose vs allulose; glucose vs sucralose; fructose vs sucralose and fructose vs allulose.

    Six minutes before (baseline) and 12 minutes after (response) test product intake
