Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Centre in Philadelphia, a scientific institute dedicated to the study of smell and taste, also found that this same gene predicts the strength of sweet tooth cravings among children. "Children, who were more sensitive to bitterness, preferred sugary foods and drinks. However, adults with the bitter receptor genes remained picky about bitter foods, but did not prefer more sweets," the authors noted.
