Thursday, July 25 (HealthDay News)--If you prefer savory or sweet food can be a matter of personality, new research suggests.
The researchers gave personality tests 184 non-smokers aged 18-45, to see if you were looking for personality, sensation (someone who is open to new experiences and willing to take risks), or a more sedate personality and less open to things like that.
The participants were then given a small amount of capsaicin, a component of hot chili peppers and asked to rate how much they liked the spicy meal as smoke from capsaicin increased intensity.
Those seeking personality experience still liked spicy meal, even as smoke from the capsaicin has increased, while those with more sedate personality didn't like the meal how to burn increased, according to a study. The results were presented recently at the annual meeting of the Institute of food technologists in Chicago.
"In theory, we know that the intensity of combustion and the needs are linear," study author Nadia Byrnes, of Pennsylvania State University, said in a press statement of the Institute. "More annoying relationship or food gets, the less people should like it."But this is not always the case. "
The data and conclusions presented in the meetings are usually considered tentative until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
