How are energy intake, feeling of satiety and sweet taste related? The type of sugar we consume is partly responsible for how quickly we are full.

What new taste research reveals

So far, little is known about the extent to which the taste perception of sugar contributes to satiety. A current study by Austrian and German scientists led by Veronika Somoza and Barbara Lieder now provides new insights into the relationships between the sweet taste of sugar, energy intake and hunger satiety regulation. The study was published in the journal "Nutrients".

"With or without sugar Sweets are omnipresent at Christmas time: vanilla crescents, biscuits and marzipan pave the way to presents every year. Those who want to avoid sugar can now choose from a wealth of alternatives, all with advantages and disadvantages. Between sweeteners and substitutes, sugar-free and products without added sugar, there is something for every taste. However, it is difficult to find one's way through the jungle of labels. - Question of definition"

The role of our sweet receptors for the perception of taste and for metabolism is being studied at the Vienna CD Laboratory for Taste Research. The bad news is that so far there is no adequate sugar substitute.
