Abstract

Twenty-four- hour and 30-min intake of sucrose and saccharin solutions were compared across a range of concentrations. While quantities ingested differed, the intake functions for each substance were similar over long and short periods. However, saccharin intake was markedly lower than sucrose over 24 h, despite the absence of the satiating effects attributed to sucrose. It is suggested that qualitative taste differences rather than postingestional effects could account for differences in sucrose and saccharin preference.
