Study 382 :SMELL and TASTE RESEARCH Illinois
Type of Study	Warm chocolate. Spicy peppermint... Freshly baked bread. The irresistible smells of daily life are the key to unlocking your brain's greatest power! Currently involed involved in greater than 60 ongoing research projects. Flavor Intensifiers We are currently seeking volunteers to participate in an ongoing study of "Flavor intensifiers as a way to promote weight loss and an alternative to diet". By enhancing the taste of food, the brain is fooled into believing you've eaten more than you actually did, making you feel full faster. This is an extension of a study done ten years ago using odors for weight loss. In the course of the study, different flavor enhancers are provided each month over the six-month study. These include the tastes of kiwi, almond, cheddar cheese, pistachio, and cocoa.
Aim of Study	Smell & Taste evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to smell and taste. In addition, our research extends to the effects of odors and flavors on emotion, mood, behavior and disease states.
Inclusion Criteria	Must be an adult18-64 years of age Must not now be pregnant Must not be planning to become pregnant in the next 6 months Must not be currently breast feeding Must not have trouble tasting Must not have uncontrolled hypertension Must not have diabetes Must not have Sjogren's syndrome (or any autoimmune disease that affects your ability to taste) Must like to eat between meals Must like to eat either pickles and/or ice cream Must not exercise more than 40 minutes every day Must be at least ten pounds overweight Must have passed instant eligibility on the menu bar.

Reimbursement	A REALISTIC PAYMENT FOR TIME AND INCONVENIENCE
Other Info	Rationale for the Study With a third to a quarter of the American population overweight, obesity is rampant in contemporary society. At any given time, 40% of women and 24% of men are trying to lose weight and of these, 84% of women and 76 -78% of men are dieting for this purpose. In the USA, losing weight has become a national obsession. Over 30 billion dollars are spent each year devising a plethora of new diets and methods for losing weight, none of which have been demonstrated to be effective over a long term (2 years) [1, 2]. Obesity is one of the most pervasive health problems in our society. The physical and psychological consequences have an impact on the afflicted in countless ways. Almost all overweight people suffer derision and ridicule, but the worst prejudice is reserved for and directed towards obese women. We need only look at television commentators, politicians, and others in public life to realize that overweight men do not experience the same degree of discrimination that obese women suffer. States of hunger and satiety are known to be of crucial importance in the regulation of weight, and the perception of hunger is multivariate; environmental stimuli, psychological substrate, and internal physiology all contribute a share. Everyday,experiences attest to the influence of ambient aromas on our appetites; we salivate at the smell of freshly baked cookies and feel nauseated a a whiff of sewer gas. When we are hungry, foods smell better and therefore, taste better. Conversely, olfactory ability wanes when we are satiated, lessening the hedonics of further ingestion [3]. Anatomic connections of the olfactory bulb to the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, the satiety center, authenticate these observations [4], as does the presence of cholecystokinin, a gastric satiety factor, as a neurotransmitter in the olfactory bulb [5]. The fact that patients with acute anosmia often gain weight suggests that a failure of olfactory - satiety feedback mechanism may be involved [6]. To assess the effect on inhalation of certain aromas upon weight control, we studied 3193 overweight volunteers. Their average age was 43 years, average height 65 inches, and average weight 217 pounds. Each was given an inhaler containing a blend of odorants and instructed to inhale three times in each nostril whenever feeling hungry. New inhalers containing a new blend of odorants were supplied each month over a period of six months. Those subjects whose test scores showed that they had normal olfactory abilities and who use their inhalers frequently, ate two to four meals a day, felt bad about overeating, but did not feel bad about themselves lost nearly five pounds or two percent of body weight per month. These data suggest that it may be possible for individuals with normal olfaction, by inhaling certain aromas, to induce and sustain loss of weight over a six-month period. Actual results from this study demonstrate that it may be more effective by providing flavor enhancements to the gustatory experience (including olfactory) and may have a substantially greater impact than olfactory stimulus alone. flavor enhancers have been used extensively to give artificial flavor in enhancing the taste of food to those with chemosensory dysfunction, yet it has never been used in any form to facilitate weight loss. It is proposed that we can use flavor enhancers to induce weight loss, one primarily sweet and one primarily salty, which would be provided for use each day on foods most appropriate to the taste type. While there are no known risks to these flavors, it is possible that people on a restricted diet should be excluded in that the sodium content in these enhancers is unclear. They are all FDA-GRAS approved food additives and have no known risks even if an entire month's supply is consumed at once. The only potential risk is that if they are effective in inducing loss of weight, study participants may become underweight.
