Abbreviations: I=industry, N=Non-industry, M=mixed (both industry and non-industry), nw=normal weight , ow=overweight, mw=mixed weight, CO#=crossover and # of repeated experiments, B=Breakfast, L=Lunch, D=Dinner, NA= Not Applicable, NL=Not listed, NC=not calculable, NS=not significantly different (P>0.05), %ΔTEI=Percent change in Total Energy Intake. Sweeteners: s=sucrose, g=glucose, f=fructose, a=aspartame, h=saccharin, k=acesulfame-K.

See Also Table 2 for further results from this study.

Beverages with non-conventional caloric sweeteners or mixed caloric and diet sweeteners not shown.

β

test meal included caloric beverages

ψ

test meal included water

φ

beverage kcal not listed; kcal were calculated at 4kcal/g for sucrose, glucose, fructose, aspartame and 2.5kcal/g for xylitol, and 0kcal/g for saccharin.

a

Time delay = minutes from preload to test meal(s)

b

SEM was not available for all studies. SEM was calculated from SD (SEM=SD/√N) where available. Where stratified results were combined, SEM was not calculated.

c

Total energy intake includes combined kcal from preload and test meal. %ΔTEI is calculated as 100*(TEI(w/beverage)−TEI(w/water)) / TEI (w/water).

d

P values reflect differences in total energy intake. I.e. Preload+meal kcal compared to water+meal kcal. This comparison was not available for all studies. For diet beverages with negligible calories, P-values for meal intake contrasts are considered equivalent.

e

Sex specific N’s not listed

f

Total intake differences not tested. Amount of compensation was not significantly different from preload calories.

g

Non-significant P value was reported for differences in test meals only; However total energy differences were smaller than meal differences, so non-significance was assumed.

h

Additional data supplied by author(s)

i

Paper listed only differences in intake between day 1 (control) and day 2 (test day). Percent change in intake was calculated from differences. Day 1 intake was estimated from figure.

j

Totals were calculated from weighted averages of stratified results as there were no significant differences by sex and/or wt.

k

Paper does not specify any flavoring or volume for preload solution. First author has passed away, and collaborators were contacted but were unable to provide this information.

l

Significant P value was reported for differences in test meals only; However total energy differences were of greater magnitude and significance was assumed.

m

Caloric intake was measured over 48 hours. Beverages were consumed the first day, still mineral water was consumed the second day. Breakfast calories were fixed. Lunch and Dinner calories were ad lib.
