Brief summary
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of dairy consumption on satiety and certain aspects of cognition in a sample of primary school children aged 10-12 years. It is hypothesized that beverages with a lower glycaemic load and higher dairy composition will be associated with improvements in measures of cognitive function and satiety compared to beverages high in gylcaemic load and containing no dairy food.
Interventions
Three beverages that differ in gylcaemic load (GL) and dairy composition.
Beverage 1 (High GL/No dairy)- Glucose 65g, water, flavouring
Beverage 2 (Medium GL, medium dairy) - Whole milk 200ml, water, sweetener, flavouring
Beverage 3 (Low GL/High dairy) - Whole milk 400ml, non-nutritive sweetener, flavouring.
The participants will consume each of the three beverages over 3 consecutive days - i.e. Beverage 1 on day 1, Beverage 2 on day 2 and Beverage 3 on day 3 (randomised). Frequency of in

Frequency of intake is once per day (consumed at 0900), for 3 days.
