The role of sugars in solution in regulating appetite and food intake (FI) has received little investigation in children. Therefore, we examined the effect of sugars solutions (200 kcal) containing glucose, high‐fructose corn syrup‐55 (HFCS‐55), and sucrose on appetite and FI compared to a sucralose control in 9–14 y old normal weight (NW) boys. NW boys (n=15) received in random order four equally sweetened solutions containing sucralose (0 kcal), glucose, HFCS‐55 or sucrose made up to 250 mL with water 2 h after a standardized breakfast. FI (mean kcal ± SEM) at an ad libitum pizza meal was measured 60 min later. Subjective appetite was measured at baseline and at 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min. Compared to sucralose (1127 ± 56), glucose reduced FI by 18% (975 ± 58; P < 0.01), however, HFCS‐55 (1075 ± 65) and sucrose (1074 ± 81) failed to result in a statistically significant decrease in FI. Caloric compensation scores for glucose, HFCS‐55 and sucrose were 76%, 26% and 26% respectively. Fat‐mass correlated positively with FI (r = 0.75, P < 0.01). Change from baseline average appetite was higher after sucrose compared to all other treatments (P < 0.01). We conclude that glucose, when compared to the other sugars solutions, produces greater physiological effects on FI in NW boys. Grant Funding Source: MSVU New Investigator Award.
