Effects of sucrose drinks on macronutrient intake, body weight, and mood state in overweight women over 4 weeks (2010)
Journal Article

Overweight subjects, however, may differ. In a single-blind, between-subjects design, sof...

Theorising transient mood after ingestion (2009)
Journal Article
Hammersley, R., & Reid, M. (2009). Theorising transient mood after ingestion. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 33(3), 213-222. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2008.07.010

Ingesting foods or drugs can alter rated mood. Moods have been theorised as reinforcers that cause ingestion. This assumption may be incompatible with the current two-system models of affect, where 'moods' are less intense yet more protracted than em...
