Scientists of German institute of dietology have dispelled a myth about the fat people - gourmets, presumably capable to estimate better taste qualities of food. It was considered that fat people easily can distinguish degree of product’s sweetness or bitterness. As a result of research, which 120 men and women have taken part in, it was determined, that fat people has lower sense of smell and ability to distinguish taste, than people with normal weight. Researched have been divided into three groups: “average”, “well-fad” and “stout”. Tests have shown that “stout” people are more often mistaken in determination of a degree of sweet, salty, sour or bitter products, than respondents from group of average weight. Moreover, thick people are capable to distinguish bitterness only in rather big concentration. Even sugar contents in solution they determine hardly.
