The Movie Theater Study
Sponsor: Ball State University
Summary
Increasing attention has been paid to meals with unusual characteristics that are consumed on a semi-regular basis (e.g., "tailgating," pizza buffets). The purpose of this study is to describe the acute cardiometabolic effects of a cinema-style meal rich in refined sugar, total carbohydrate, and moderate in fat (i.e., soda, popcorn, candy).
