Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This will be a double-blind crossover trial in which 55 healthy adults will drink three kinds of sweetened beverages; a drink containing 50g sucrose as the higher glycaemic response arm, a drink containing 50g isomaltulose and 0.035g sucralose as the lower glycaemic response arm, and a drink containing 0.12g sucralose as the negative control arm. The order in which participants receive the drinks will be randomised to each person. On the evening prior to the test day, participants will be asked to fast from 9pm onwards with water only being permitted, resulting in an overnight fast of 10 hours. On the mornings of the test days, participants will be provided with a 500ml beverage and asked to drink it within 10 minutes. There will be at least one-week washout between test days. On the day prior to each test, an email will be sent to participants to remind them to fast from 9pm onwards.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The person who determined if a subject was eligible for inclusion in the trial was unaware, when this decision was made, to which order of beverage ingestion the subject would be allocated. The treatment order was known only to a research assistant otherwise uninvolved in the study, neither the principal investigators nor the participants were aware of the order at the time of testing.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using a randomisation table created by computer software
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?

The people administering the treatment/s

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
To detect a small difference of 0.3SD between treatments, at least 52 participants will be required for 80% power at the 5% significance level. To balance the number of participants for each drink order, 54 participants will be needed. Mixed effects regression analysis will be used to test for differences in cognitive tests results with participant ID as a random effect. Estimates will be adjusted by the order of drinks, whether sleeping well in the previous night, whether using alcohol usage 24 hours before each visit, the degree of drowsiness before the test, and the degree of hunger before the test.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objectives will be to assess the effects of different sweetened beverages on cognition, mood and satiety. The sweeteners will induce different glycaemic responses in the participants. The study hypothesis is that a beverage which can induce a higher blood glucose concentration and then a higher glucose concentration in the brain, represented by the sucrose treatment, will result in better cognitive and mood results. Another hypothesis is that a more steady blood glucose concentration will result in greater feelings of satiety.

The study will have a crossover design in which each participant will consume a sucrose, an isomaltulose and a sucralose sweetened drinks in randomized order. Participants will attend three sessions with at least one-week washout time. On each test day, participants will be given cognitive tests 60 minutes following beverage ingestion, including the Complex Figure test, the Word Recall test, the Trail Making test (Part B) and the Stroop Word Colour test. Mood questionnaires will be answered before and 60 minutes following beverage ingestion and satiety questionnaires will be answered before, 30, 60, and 90 minutes following beverage ingestion.
