Sugary drinks atrophy taste buds

The consumption of two sugary drinks a day can stunt the taste buds and cause cravings of foods rich in calories , according to a study of the universities of Bangor and Bristol, in England.

Research suggests that, in less than a month, those who consume sugary drinks they have a lower sensitivity to sweet flavors . This leads to a greater preference for foods rich in calories and loaded with sugar , creating a "vicious circle" in search of the next sweet .

People who are not very attracted to sweet have a particularly high risk of developing a attraction towards these foods, even if they are thin and lead an active life.

In this regard, the researchers expressed their surprise at the speed with which the taste could atrophy as a result of exposure to sweet drinks .

In the trial, people thin Y obese They valued their perception and enjoy the flavors sweet Y salty . With the same drinks, obese participants tended to qualify them as less sweet than thin participants.

The experts recruited, then, only thin people who did not usually consume sugary drinks . Their sensitivity to these beverages was tested, and they were asked to consume one, twice a day.

A month later, when they were retested, their sensitivity to said beverages and the enjoyment conscious of them, it had diminished.

For this reason, Dr. Hans-Peter Kubis, of the University of Bangor, pointed out that the atrophy of palate can lead to that "vicious circle", because consumers tend to take more food sweets and loaded with calories , to compensate.
