Abstract
In short-term tests, rats given saccharin solution to drink eat 10-15% more food than when given only water. This is due to the combination of a cephalic-phase neural reflex that influences liver metabolism, a favorable osmotic environment and learning. It is hypothesized that sweet taste increases food intake by producing biochemical changes in the liver that increase fuel storage and consequently decrease fuel oxidation.
