Summary

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

Detailed description

This study aimed at 1. to determine the glycemic index and glycemic load of three sugar-free products with added sweeteners: apricot jam, cranberry cereal bar, and cocoa drink, and 2. to investigate the effects of these products on the postprandial glycemic response in healthy subjects

Conditions

• Potential Abnormality of Glucose Tolerance
• Appetitive Behavior

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
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.
