The study is separated into two parts: A) investigating the effects of artificial sweeteners in combination with complex carbohydrates; and B) investigating the effects of artificial sweeteners in combination with simple sugars. A) Participants will be randomly given either the placebo drink (3g of maltodextrin dissolved in 250ml of water) or the Canderel drink (3g of Canderel dissolved in 250ml of water) alongside an isocaloric high carbohydrate breakfast. Blood glucose measurements will be obtained through finger pricking and appetite will be measured using self-reported visual analog scores rating hunger, desire to eat, fullness and alertness for up to 3 hours after breakfast. B)Participants will be randomly given either the placebo drink (3g of Lyle's Golden syrup and 3g of maltodextrin dissolved in 250ml of water) or the Canderel+sugars drink (3g of Canderel and 3g of Lyle's Golden syrup dissolved in 250ml of water) . Blood glucose measurements will be obtained through finger pricking and appetite will be measured using self-reported visual analog scores rating hunger, desire to eat, fullness and alertness for up to 3 hours after drink
