Summary
This small pilot study looked at how different sugars (table sugar, glucose, and fructose) affect brain activity and food preferences in healthy adults. Seven participants drank flavored sugar beverages and had their metabolism and brain responses measured. The goal was to test if these effects can be reliably studied, not to provide a treatment.
