Does taste sensitivity to 6-n-propylthiouracil predict acceptance of bitter-tasting spinach in 3-6-y-old children?
The acceptance of spinach may to some extent be mediated by individual taste perception and be predictable via both threshold and suprathreshold measures of PROP taste sensitivity. Furthermore, children as young as 3 y of age can partake in direct investigations of taste, reliably comply with test procedures, and accurately communicate taste perceptions and preferences under study conditions.
In a predominantly young-to-middle-aged community sample, the impact of Pbs on LV DD antedates the effects of aortic stiffness, the time-to-wave reflection, or Pfs.
