Research shows that those who are overweight could be less sensitive to sweet flavours than their thinner counterparts, and have to eat more sweet things in order to satisfy their cravings. These findings could lead to future treatments for obesity as it could become possible to change the make-up of cells on the tongue to stop overweight people from craving sweet foods. In the meanwhile, let’s check out this healthy sweet recipe…
