Effects of Oligofructose-enriched Inulin and Digestive Symptoms on Subjective Wellbeing, Mood and Cognitive Performance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rationale: Research has shown that the behavioural effects of inulin vary depending on dose, whether combined with food or not, and length of time that the inulin is consumed. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of 13g of inulin on digestive symptoms, mood and cognitive performance. Methods: This study compared 13g of inulin and maltodextrin placebo over a single day using a cross-over design (N=51), with a measurement of mood and cognition occurring across the day. Results: Inulin increased the number of motions occurring and the number of stools passed. Inulin was associated with a more negative mood and impaired cognition, especially episodic memory. Conclusions: Inulin can influence behaviour through a variety of mechanisms. Effects seen in this study could not reflect changes in gut flora due to the short time period studied. Other possible mechanisms are discussed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
