Types of Starch and Their Effect on Blood Glucose, Appetite and Food Intake

September 30, 2009 updated by: University of Toronto

The Effect of Different Types of Starch on Glycemic Response, Subjective Appetite and Short-term Food Intake in Young Men

The investigators hypothesize that different types of starch vary in their effects on appetite, blood sugar and food intake. In this study, subjects consumed five soups containing 50 g of whole grain, high amylose corn, regular corn or maltodextrin starches or no added starch at one week intervals. The investigators measured food intake at 120 minutes, appetite and blood sugar.
