@JamesCollier — Question About Sweetness And Satiety

…To answer your question directly:
Q. — What role does the level of artificial sweetness in Huel play in achieving the perception of satiety a person feels from drinking Huel?

Sucralose has very little role here on their own. The sweeteners are included so people enjoy consuming Huel; it’s the whole formula which helps reduce satiety.…

Thank you @JamesCollier. I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to reply. I respect your expertise as a dietician/nutritionist even more now than I already did before.

So, if I’m understanding your answer correctly, it’s sorta like what I paraphrased in layman’s terms back here a few months ago…

…Those crafty food scientists and nutritionist boffins can engineer the sugar, fat and salt in foods in the precise combinations to make you never feel sated — and to always crave the food and uncontrollably eat more and more of it. That’s how your junk foods work — in a nutshell.

Then logically they can also flip that, and engineer the sugar, fat and fiber contents of foods — and food-like powders — to the precise proportions that spoil your appetite….

Or to rephrase my parents’ oft-repeated old saying more scientifically…
