The effects of the form of sugar (solid vs. beverage) on body weight and fMRI activation: A randomized controlled pilot study.

<h4>Objective</h4>To test if sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) and sugar sweetened solids (SSSs) have differential effects on body weight and reward processing in the brain.<h4>Methods</h4>In a single blind randomized controlled pilot trial (RCT), twenty participants with BMI...
