  • Title: Taste responsiveness in anorexia nervosa.
    Author: Simon Y, Bellisle F, Monneuse MO, Samuel-Lajeunesse B, Drewnowski A.
    Journal: Br J Psychiatry; 1993 Feb; 162():244-6. PubMed ID: 8435696.
    Abstract:
    Preferences for sugar/fat mixtures were examined in 12 anorectic females and in 14 normal-weight volunteer controls. The subjects, recruited at an eating-disorders clinic in Paris, were tested after an overnight fast and 2 hours after lunch. Anorectic patients disliked the taste of foods rich in fat more than did controls. Perceptions and preferences for sweet taste did not differ between anorectic females and controls. After lunch, taste preference ratings were equally reduced in both groups, suggesting that satiety aversion to sucrose is present even in anorexia nervosa.
