Changing the amount of sweetness in a person’s diet has no impact on their liking for sweet foods, the results of a new trial suggest.
The results also showed no difference in indicators of cardiovascular disease or diabetes risk between people who increased or decreased their intake of sweet-tasting foods over a six-month period.
The research team suggest that consequently public health organisations may need to change their current advice on reducing sweet food consumption to tackle the obesity crisis.
The study was carried out by Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands and Bournemouth University in the UK. The results have been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
