The evidence is mostly limited to adults and to energy-dense foods for which it is particularly difficult to predict the satiating effects of consumption quantity.

During after-school time, 171 children were randomized into two conditions. Children in the food sensory imagery condi…
Enhanced labelling on alcoholic drinks: reviewing the evidence to guide alcohol policy

Background: Consumer and public health organizations have called for better labelling on alcoholic drinks. However, there is a lack of consensus about the best elements to include.
