Pain Risk Seen from Sugar Can Taste Preference Food Likes

Jakarta, not only children are reluctant to eat vegetables, there are also adults who experience it. Instead there are adults who are addicted to eating chocolate or candy sugar like children. When looking at such conditions, many people who thought maybe it was just a matter of choice flavors. But make no mistake, according to a new study predicts flavors that take the risk of heart disease and diabetes someone in the future.

Researchers derive this conclusion after observing the diet 196 participants then measured body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure.

Then after taste preferences each participant rated one-on-one, then researchers can classify participants into four groups: supertaster (participants who hate bitter flavor), sweet-liker (participants who like to taste sweet), participants who like bitter and sweet, and participants who does not like them.
From there, researchers can conclude that the participants were classified as super-tasters and sweet-liker tend to have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome or set of risk factors (insulin resistance, overweight and high blood pressure) that make a person vulnerable to heart disease, stroke and diabetes) compared to participants were not included in the two groups.
Besides the super-tasters and sweet-liker tend to consume less fiber but more to get your calorie intake from beverages like soda than participants who likes sweet and bitter.
"This study is suspect because it is sweet-liker eat more sweet foods, while the super-tasters tend to avoid vegetables. So if you fall into them then surely you would rather eat unhealthy sugary foods than healthy foods like vegetables," said researcher Gabrielle Turner-McGrievy, Ph.D., MS, RD, an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina, USA.
But surprisingly, researchers found participants who did not belong to the super-tasters and sweet liqueur are also more likely to develop metabolic syndrome than participants who only belong to one group only. How so?
"For them, any foods often taste bland so they become more likely to feel full and therefore can not taste sweet things, so they eat more high-calorie foods such as meat and cheese," said Turner-McGrievy as reported menshealth, Friday (22/02/2013).
In the future, researchers hope the study have been published in the Journal of Food Science may provide guidance for scientists to design a diet or nutrient intake that is right for every person, especially based on the choice of each individual's taste.
