Thicker Oat Fiber Drinks Release More Satiety Hormones: Viscosity Matters for Fullness

evidence
The takeaway

Higher viscosity oat bran beverages produced greater GLP-1 and PYY satiety hormone responses in healthy humans, demonstrating that food physical properties (not just nutrients) affect appetite hormone release.
