Experimental studies provide evidence that the ingestion of > or = 50 g sugar within 20-60 min of a meal results in reduced mealtime food intake, which suggests that appetite regulatory centers respond to sugar's energy content, and epidemiologic studies provideevidence that sugar consumption is associated with leanness, not obesity.
