Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of the study is to determine whether there are age-, diet- and genetically-related differences in the perception of sweeteners, both nutritive and non-nutritive.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an observational 3-day study of children between the ages of 7 and 14 and their mothers. A variety of psychophysical methods determined liking for each of the sweeteners and saliva samples were obtained for genotyping of taste receptor genes. Anthropometric and dietary intake measures were also collected.
