Beverage consumption, appetite, and energy intake: what did you expect?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Beverage consumption is implicated in the overweight/obesity epidemic through the weaker energy compensation response it elicits compared with solid food forms. However, plausible mechanisms are not documented.

Objective
