Miller AC, et al. - In this randomized, controlled trial involving 290 adults, researchers quantified the satisfaction obtained from eating one specific food, chocolate, by measuring taste perception as normal-weight, overweight, and obese study participants consumed additional pieces of chocolate. They also measured the impact of nutritional information on chocolate consumption. No significant difference was found in taste perceptions between normal- and overweight candidates. However, obese participants started with higher perceived taste levels and also experienced slower decline rates than individuals with normal weight and excess weight. Before the research, self-reported hunger influenced the perception of taste, but did not provide nutritional information.
