Dairy Products With Reduced Sugar and Blood Glucose

Dairy products represent an important food group in human nutrition as a source of calcium, protein, functional fats and low-glycaemic sugar lactose. While traditionally consumed natural milk and yogurt have low sugar content, many flavoured liquid dairy products such as chocolate milk, or fermented products such as yogurt have added sugar. Our recent studies have shown that the partial reduction of added sugar in chocolate milk and yogurt is not associated with any inferior sensory characteristics such as taste and pleasantness compared to their full-sugar counterparts. The current project will investigate whether the liquid dairy products with reduced sugar content (value-added products) have any benefits on blood glucose control in humans.

Primary outcomes

  1. Blood glucose

    Time frame: 0-120 minutes

    The concentration of blood glucose

  2. Insulin

    Time frame: 0-120 minutes

    The concentration of blood glucose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Satiety

    Time frame: 0-120 minutes

  2. Food intake

    Time frame: 120 minutes

    Energy intake with an ad libitum meat at 120 minutes

  3. Thirst

    Time frame: 0-120 minutes

    The subjective perception of thirst measured with 100mm visual analogue scales containing the question "How thirsty do you feel?" and two statements on each pole of 100mm line: "Not thirsty at all" (0mm) and "As thirsty as I have ever felt" (100mm).

  4. Physical comfort

    Time frame: 0-120 minutes

    The subjective feeling of wellness and gastrointestinal discomfort parameters including the feeling of nausea, stomach cramps, flatulency, diarrhea and a subjective feeling of wellness, each measured with 100mm visual analogue scales.

  5. Food pleasantness

    Time frame: at 0 and 120 minutes

    The perception of pleasantness of the treatments (0 min) and a test meal (at 120 min) will be measured with 100mm visual analogue scale.
