Fuller for longer: Is satiety still a hot trend?
Next we talked satiety with one of the leading researchers in the field, Professor John Blundell (head of the human appetite research center at Leeds University in the UK), who says foods proven to boost satiety can aid weight management, but says many products making such claims are not supported by properly designed and controlled clinical studies.
"Some extreme claims - especially in dietary supplements - have been made on the basis of flimsy evidence, short-term studies with too few subjects and inappropriate controls, that simply don't stand up to scrutiny," he told FoodNavigator-USA.
