Studies assessing the role of flavored milk in child and adolescent appetite and food intake
| Reference | Objective(s) | Design | Sample | Relevant results | Cost of flavored milk consumption | Benefit of flavored milk consumptions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brindal et al. 2013 [31] | Assess the differential effects of beverages varying in glycemic load and dairy composition on appetite, energy intake and cognitive function | Double-blind, randomized, crossover trial in which children consumed 1100 kJ of glucose beverage, milk beverage, or 50:50 glucose/milk beverage | n = 40 children 10–12 y of age | Blood glucose AUC values were different between drinks (P = 0.001), but did not sustain above the baseline for 3 h for any drink. NS effect of beverage on subjective appetite or energy intake. Girls showed improved short-term memory recall after consumption of either chocolate milk beverage (P = 0.014) | ND | Improved short-term memory recall in girls compared with glucose beverage |
| Vien et al. 2017 [34] | Experiment #1: compare the effects of water and isocaloric amounts of 2% milk, chocolate milk, yogurt drink, and fruit punch on subjective appetite and food intake Experiment #2: Compare the effects of isocaloric amounts of 2% milk and fruit punch on subjective appetite, food intake, and glycemic and appetite hormone responses |
Clinical trial | Experiment #1: n = 32 children and adolescents 9–14 y of age Experiment #2: n = 20 children and adolescents 9–14 y of age |
Experiment 1: meal food intake was lower by 14% and 10%, respectively, after chocolate milk and yogurt drink (P < 0.001), but not milk, compared with water Experiment 2: milk led to higher pre-meal glucagon-like peptide-1 and post meal PYY than fruit punch (P < 0.01). NS in insulin between treatments |
ND | Increased satiety Decreased short-term food intake |
| Bennett et al. 2018 [32] | Compare the effect of pre-meal consumption of commercially available SSB on subjective appetite and short-term food intake | Randomized crossover trial in which girls consumed 350 mL of fruit drink (154 kcal), cola (158 kcal), 1% chocolate milk (224 kcal), or water (control; 0 kcal) | n = 28 girls 9–14 y of age | Subjective appetite and thirst decrease after all beverages, but did not differ among beverages. Short-term food intake was suppressed after chocolate milk (15%; P < 0.001) and cola (11%; P = 0.02) compared with water control. Cumulative energy intake was not affected by beverage type | ND | ND |
| Poirier et al. 2019 [33] | Determine the effects of isovolumetric preloads of fruit-flavored drink, cola, 1% chocolate milk, and water on subjective appetite and food intake in boys | Clinical trial | n = 32 boys ages 11.8 ± 0.3 y of age | Food intake was reduced after cola (940 ± 46 kcal) and chocolate milk (878 ± 41 kcal) compared with water control (1048 ± 35 kcal) and after chocolate milk compared with the fruit drink (1005 ± 44 kcal) (P < 0.001). Average appetite was not affected by the treatment | ND | Decreased short-term food intake |
Abbreviation: PYY, peptide YY.
