JE Stewart, LP Newman, RSJ Keast - Clinical nutrition, 2011 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Taste sensitivity to fatty acids influences food ingestion and may
regulate fat intake and body weight status. Fatty acids are detected via homologous
receptors within the mouth and gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where attenuated sensitivity may
be associated with greater fat intake and BMI. This study aimed to extend observations
surrounding fatty acid taste, specifically the types of foods consumed and dietary behaviours
that may be associated with fatty acid taste sensitivity. METHODS: 51 subjects (41 female; …
