A new six-month trial suggests that simply eating fewer sweet-tasting foods may not reduce people’s love of sweetness-or improve several health markers linked to diabetes and heart disease. The team followed 180 participants, dividing them into three groups based on the amount of sweet-tasting food in their diets: high, low, or average. The sweetness came from different sources, including sugar, naturally sweet foods and low-calorie sweeteners. People eating more sweet-tasting foods did not appear to develop a stronger preference for sweetness, while those consuming fewer sweet foods did not lose their sweet tooth. ; The Sweet Tooth Trial: A Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating the Effects of A 6-Month Low, Regular, or High Dietary Sweet Taste Exposure on Sweet Taste Liking, and Various Outcomes Related to Food Intake and Weight Status.
