Interesting study on Coffee, Caffeine, Hunger, and Peptide YY

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

Coffee, hunger, and peptide YY. (2012)

^^ Search that, can't post links yet.

I wanted to post this because a lot of people here take caffeine as a fat burner or as a decent appetite suppressant, this study was interesting in that decaf coffee resulted in lower hunger levels and higher plasma PYY than placebo and other caffeine-containing drinks (caffeinated coffee and a caffeine solution).

I didn't know this before reading the study but apparently Peptide YY has an important role for energy homeostasis by balancing food intake - obese people secrete less PYY than lean people.

Obviously a negative of the study is only 11 subjects were used.
