Effects of Sugar-free Products With Added Sweeteners on Glycemic Responses

Summary

This study investigated the effects of three commonly used sugar-free snacks with added sweeteners on glycemic responses

Conditions

• Potential Abnormality of Glucose Tolerance
• Appetitive Behavior

Interventions

OTHER

Glucose as reference food

Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6,female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g glucose diluted in 250ml water, tested twice, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45,60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

White bread as reference food

Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6,female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from white bread along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 10-15min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45,60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

White bread with apricot jam

Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6,female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from white bread together with apricot jam along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 10-15min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45,60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Cereal bar with cranberries

Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6,female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from a cereal bar with cranberries along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 10-15min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45,60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Cocoa drink

Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6,female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from cocoa powder mixed with 500ml fat-free milk, tested once, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45,60, 90 and 120min.
