Investigation of the effects of animal and plant based milk on satiety and postprandial glucose levels

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the short-term effects of animal and plant-based milk consumption on postprandial glycemia, toughness, food intake of healthy individuals. Cow milk and soymilk were used as the test drink and commercial fruit juice as the control group. In the study in which 19 healthy adult subjects participated, fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose analysed, visual analog scale and appetite were questioned. Then, 24-hour food comsumption records were taken and energy and macronutrients were calculated and compared. While the highest energy intake was on the day that cow milk was consumed, no significant relationship was found between test groups in terms of energy and macronutrient intake (p>0.05). It was determined that the difference between fasting and postprandial blood glucose was in the week in which the highest cow milk was consumed and this change was significant (p< 0.05). It was thought that the satiety effect of cow milk may be higher than that of soy milk due to its animal protein and saturated fat content.
