1. Sweet taste tests
Studies in infants and newborns have shown that they are sensitive to the taste of sweetness and that they prefer it from the first contact. Studies have also shown that infants and young children respond to even diluted sweetness, are able to distinguish between the degrees of sugariness and sugariness, and are more likely to accept sugary solutions than water. From the moment we are born, taste affects our taste in relation to our taste for sweetness. However, it makes sweet foods more palatable. It should also be emphasized that a woman's taste in sweetness remains very attractive during childhood and early adulthood, and that after the age of maturity the taste in sugar products can decrease to a certain level after the child reaches a certain age.2. Sweet taste and today's lifestyle
Today's rigorous food safety standards mean that we don't have to rely on sweet taste as a mechanism to make food safe. However, over time, one thing remains unchanged our taste for sweetness. Sweetness, a traditional sensory indicator that changes both the nutritional and caloric value, increases the attractiveness of a given food. Young children prefer foods with higher energy density. This makes the energy intensity and the pleasure of enjoying a sweet taste intertwined.3. The diet and the sweet taste is a summary
To sum up, every food and drink can be appropriate in the context of a healthy, active lifestyle that includes a rational, balanced diet and regular physical exercise. People should control their innate taste for sweets. However, high rates of obesity in children and adults suggest a need to balance the number of calories consumed and burned during daily activities.
