Beverage Consumption and Fine Motor Control

The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of daily consumption of aspartame, rebaudioside a, saccharin, sucralose, and sucrose on body weight and composition in a standardized protocol. The investigators hypothesize that individual low calorie sweeteners (consumed in a beverage) differ from each other in promoting weight loss and decreased fat mass (without energy restriction or dietary guidance) based on their chemical structure.
