BACKGROUND: The contribution of sweet beverages to weight gain in @entity1 is controversial; the impact of these beverages on caloric adjustment needs clarification. OBJECTIVE: We studied the influence of @entity2101 ( @entity2101 ) conditioning on the liking for sweet beverages and caloric adjustment after their consumption in @entity1 . DESIGN: We used a within-subject design. Forty-four 8-11-y-old @entity1 were exposed to the following 2 distinctly flavored, sweetened beverages: a @entity7493 ( @entity7493 ) version (150 kcal) and a no-energy (NE) version (0 kcal). During a 4-wk initial conditioning period, @entity1 were exposed either 2 or 7 times to each beverage. After a 3-wk stability period (without exposure), @entity1 were exposed 3 times to both beverages with a reversed association between the @entity2101 and flavor (4-wk reversed-conditioning period). Flavor liking and food intake during meals after the consumption of each beverage were assessed before and after each period. RESULTS: After the initial conditioning, the liking for both beverages increased (P < 0.001). After the stability period, the liking for the @entity7493 flavor was higher than for the NE flavor (P = 0.024). After the reversed conditioning, the liking for the flavor initially paired with the @entity7493 beverage tended to remain higher than for the NE flavor (P = 0.089). Initially, energy intakes during the meal did not differ after the consumption of NE or @entity7493 beverages. After the initial conditioning and up until the end of the reversed conditioning, energy intakes were lower after the @entity7493 beverage than after the NE beverage regardless of the beverage flavor (eg, after reversal; caloric compensation score: 29%). The number of exposures did not influence liking or energy intake. CONCLUSION: After the association between a flavor and @entity2101 and reversal of this association, liking may be first guided by @entity2101 and then the flavor firstly associated with @entity2101 , whereas the partial caloric compensation may consistently be guided by @entity2101 . This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02070185.
