Tricking the tongue
Australian food experts want to make apples taste like burgers could be the key to tackling the fat epidemic.
In a new twist to the obesity fight, scientists are spending
millions in the race to find taste buds on the tongue for fat and salt. The
team at Deakin University hope they will be able to fool these tiny receptors
into believing healthy foods actually taste deliciously fatty.
The strategy could help limit over-consumption of fat and
salt, said Dr Russell Keast, who will present research at a national food
conference in Melbourne this month.
