Details and patient eligibility

About

The main objective is to study, in 8-11 year old children, the influence of energy density conditioning on liking for new flavored beverages and on caloric adjustment after the beverage consumption. The stability of the energy conditioning was evaluated after a period without exposure and after an extinction period during which the energy density of the beverages was changed.
