| Water | EB | Glucose | Glucose + EB | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VAS hunger pre-ingestion | 5.4 ± 2.3 | 5.8 ± 2.1 | 5.4 ± 2.2 | 5.9 ± 2.1 |
| VAS hunger post-ingestion | 6.6 ± 1.8 | 6.8 ± 1.6 | 5.5 ± 2.4 | 5.7 ± 2.3 |
| Delta VAS hunger | 1.2 ± 1.2 | 0.9 ± 1.6 | 0.2 ± 2.2 | −0.3 ± 1.6 |
| VAS flavor | 5.2 ± 1.4 | 3.9 ± 1.5 | 5.4 ± 1.6 | 5.3 ± 2.5 |
Values in mean ± standard deviation. VAS consisted of a 10 cm line scored from 0 to 10, anchors for the VAS score for hunger 0: ‘not hungry’ and 10: ‘extremely hungry’, anchors for the VAS score for flavor 0: ‘very unpleasant’ and 10: ‘very pleasant’
