Highly Palatable and Hypercaloric Foods Chronic Intake Impair Food Control

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of soft drink and/or cafeteria diet consumption on eating behavior and metabolic parameters in rats. Material Methods: Two months male Wistar rats were treated for twelve weeks, divided into groups: 1) CON: standard chow water (SCW); 2) CD: SCW; 3) CS: caloric 4) NCS: non-caloric 5) CD+CS: diet, 6) CD+NCS: SCW. Results: The intake resulted higher energy (p<0.0001), a lipid increase protein reduction which contributed to an body weight (p<0.0001) compared controls. CD+NCS group visceral fat may be related 17% sugar consumption, CD+CS group, soda's caffeine content, with less insulinogenic effect. Conclusion: animals who received consumed more ultra-processed foods, resulting increased greater gain, fat. On other hand, drinks showed levels groups.
