Therefore,\u00a0if you eat food immediately after having any caffeinated beverage, the taste may appear different. In particular, your ability to taste sweetness\u00a0may get altered, making\u00a0you\u00a0crave for more sugar, a group of researchers claimed.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 107 participants were enrolled for a study and divided into two groups. One group was given decaffeinated coffee supplemented with 200 mg of caffeine (deemed average for a strong cup of coffee) with a specified amount of sugar. The second group was given decaffeinated coffee with the same amount of sugar.<\/p>\n<p>The results showed that the participants in the caffeinated group considered their drinks to be less sweet than those in the decaffeinated group. The former group eventually desired for more sugar.<\/p>\n<p>The authors explained that caffeine inhibits adenosine receptors, which are the structures in your brain that induce drowsiness. Hence, you feel more alert\u00a0after taking coffee. However, it also changes the way your brain responds to certain tastes, they added.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Journal of Food Science<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_shutterstock_479341630.jpg\" alt=\"1mg\" title=\"Coffee May Alter Your Ability To Taste Sweet Foods\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[63,70,124],"class_list":["post-28506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1mg-news","tag-at-work","tag-brain-health","tag-healthy-eating-vitamins-minerals-nutrients"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Coffee May Alter Your Ability To Taste Sweet Foods - Tata 1mg Capsules<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Coffee is a widely popular beverage.
