Effect of Energy Density on Liking and on Caloric Adjustment Conditioning

Effect of Energy Density on Liking and on Caloric Adjustment Conditioning After Sweet Beverage Exposure in Children Aged 8-11 y

The main objective is to study, in 8-11 year old children, the influence of energy density conditioning on liking for new flavored beverages and on caloric adjustment after the beverage consumption. The stability of the energy conditioning was evaluated after a period without exposure and after an extinction period during which the energy density of the beverages was changed.
