Official title
Ultra-Processed Foods - Palatability and Appetite
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how food processing level affects appetite and gastrointestinal transit time when meal palatability is changed. Participants will complete one screening visit and four test visits. During each test visit, participants will consume one of four meals that differ by food processing level and palatability: high-palatability ultra-processed food, low-palatability ultra-processed food, high-palatability non-ultra-processed food, or low-palatability non-ultra-processed food. The main questions this study aims to answer are whether food processing and palatability affect appetite sensations and gastrointestinal transit time. Participants will rate appetite sensations during each test visit and provide breath samples to measure gastrointestinal transit time.
