There is currently much media hype surrounding the role of sugar in health and appetite. Public health bodies have targeted breakfast as one of the meals that can be altered to reduce sugar intake. The aim of these messages is to reduce energy and sugar intake, and swap sugar for a more satiating macronutrient. However, to our knowledge, no studies have directly examined whether high sugar breakfasts disrupt appetite or cause health problems in free-living settings. This webinar will discuss our latest research directly testing this theory. Underlying physiological and psychological theories as to how sugar intake (particularly in the morning) may affect health and appetite will be discussed, with the aim of demonstrating that its effects are far more complex than the media may portray.
