Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and environmental determinants of bitter perception and sweet preferences
TL;DR: The effects of race/ethnicity were the strongest determinants, thus suggesting that cultural forces and experience may override this genotype effect on sweet preferences, as well as a portion of individual differences in preferences for sweet flavors in children but not in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic effects of non-nutritive sweeteners
TL;DR: Recent scientific evidence supporting potential mechanisms that explain how "metabolically inactive" NNSs, which have few, if any, calories, might promote metabolic dysregulation is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sucralose Affects Glycemic and Hormonal Responses to an Oral Glucose Load
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sucralose affects the glycemic and insulin responses to an oral glucose load in obese people who do not normally consume NNS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age modifies the genotype-phenotype relationship for the bitter receptor TAS2R38
TL;DR: These data imply that the change in PROP bitter sensitivity which occurs over the lifespan (from bitter sensitive to less so) is more common in people with a particular haplotype combination, i.e., AVI/PAV heterozygotes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obese women have lower monosodium glutamate taste sensitivity and prefer higher concentrations than do normal-weight women.
TL;DR: Surprisingly, it was found that, relative to discriminators, nondiscriminators perceived less savoriness when tasting suprathreshold MSG concentrations and less sweetness from suPRathreshold sucrose concentrations but had similar MSG and sucrose detection thresholds.
