| Summary |
It is suggested that increased per capita consumption of sugar/sweeteners may play a role in the rising prevalence of obesity in the United States. However, recent studies indicate that consumption of a particular natural sweetener is not associated with the same obesogenic effects of other sweeteners and that it may help promote body weight regulation. In one study, rats fed this natural sweetener for six weeks gained 16.7% less weight than rats fed isocaloric quantities of other sweeteners. The purpose of this project is to determine if the natural sweetener in question has a greater thermic effect and thus contributes to weight regulation via an increase in total caloric need. Preliminary data from a newly initiated study will be analyzed to assess postprandial oxygen consumption, or the thermic effect of food (TEF), following the consumption of one of two meals—either an experimental meal which contains the natural sweetener or a control meal which contains a common sweetener. Participants in the study are healthy, non-obese and never-pregnant females, aged 18-30 years. The test diets are consumed in random order every four to seven days according to participant’s follicular phase of menstruation. Participants undergo resting metabolism, ghrelin/PYY response and TEF measurements.
