Nursing home residents who have a sorbet appetizer tend to eat more at mealtime and maintain their weight, according to a study by researchers at Gonzaga University and the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater.
According to McKnight's website article on the study, residents who began their meals with sorbet ate significantly more food at dinner. They also drank less liquid during the meal.
Previous research has shown that sorbet consumption increases salivation more than drinking water does, the article said. The increased salivation was linked with more food consumption.
