Answer to Question 1

Most foods that contain table sugar or starches are filling since they take up space in the stomach and may be combined with protein or fats, which can also reduce the appetite. Most sodas now contain HFCS, and if people drink a lot of soda in addition to other foods, they are likely to be taking in excess calories, which can lead to weight gain. People do not perceive soda as being filling since it is a liquid and not a solid.
