“…That experience influences sweet preferences is suggested by the finding that children whose mothers routinely added sugar to their diet preferred higher levels of sugar in apple juice and cereals when compared to children whose mothers reported never adding sugar. Such findings are consistent with previous research demonstrating that experience with sweetened water during infancy resulted in higher preferences for sweetened water at 2 years of age (Beauchamp & Moran, 1982, 1984 and that preference for sweet taste, as assessed by psychophysical methods, is related to carbohydrate intake in healthy adults (Mattes & Mela, 1986).…”

“…However, individual variations do exists (Beauchamp & Moran, 1984;Enns &Itallie, 1979;Nilsson & Holm, 1983). Genetic variation (Bartoshuk, 2000;Drewnowski, Henderson, & Shore, 1997;Looy & Weingarten, 1992), as well as early experience (Beauchamp & Moran, 1982, 1984, play a role in establishing such individual differences. For example, children who were fed sweetened water during the first several months of life exhibited a greater preference for sweetened water at two years of age when compared to those who had little of no experience with sweetened water (Beauchamp & Moran, 1984).…”

Through dietary experiences, children develop a sense of what foods should or should not taste sweet (Cowart & Beauchamp, 1986;Sullivan & Birch, 1990).…”

We investigated the effects of early experience on sweet and sour preferences in children. Eightythree children were divided into four groups based on the type of formula fed during infancy and age. By using a forced-choice, sip-and-swallow procedure, we determined the level of sweetness and sourness preferred in juice. Children who were fed protein hydrolysate formulas, which have a distinctive sour and bitter taste and unpleasant odor, preferred higher levels of citric acid in juice when compared to older children who were fed similar formulas. No such difference was observed between the groups for sweet preference. However, the level of sweetness preferred in juice was related to the sugar content of the child's favorite cereal and whether the mother routinely added sugar to their foods. These data illustrate the wide variety of experiential factors that can influence flavor preferences during childhood.

“…Há evidências de que os alimentos que a criança recebe nos primeiros dois anos de vida irão determinar suas preferências, que podem se prolongar até a vida adulta [2][3][4] . O período da introdução da alimentação complementar é relevante uma vez que a introdução de alimentos antes dos seis meses de vida aumenta a chance de as crianças apresentarem rejeição alimentar e neofobia 5 .…”

OBJETIVO: Investigar a adequação das práticas alimentares no primeiro ano de vida e seus fatores associados na cidade de Porto Alegre (RS). MÉTODOS: Este estudo transversal foi realizado durante a Campanha Nacional de Imunização no ano de 2008. Utilizou-se amostragem por conglomerados em dois estágios e foram avaliadas 1.099 crianças menores de um ano de idade, em 31 postos de vacinação. A coleta de dados consistiu da aplicação de questionário estruturado sobre características maternas, uso de chupeta, consumo de leite materno, de leites artificiais, chá, água, alimentos complementares e de alimentos de baixo valor nutricional pelas crianças. Para estimar a associação entre variáveis maternas, uso de chupeta e práticas alimentares, foram utilizadas análises de regressão logística. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de aleitamento materno exclusivo foi de 47,1% entre as crianças com até quatro meses de vida e de 21,4% entre as crianças entre quatro e seis meses. A frequência de aleitamento materno exclusivo foi maior entre as crianças que não usavam chupeta, que não eram primogênitas e cujas mães não trabalhavam fora de casa ou estavam em licença maternidade. Melhores práticas de alimentação complementar foram observadas em crianças cujas mães tinham maior nível de escolaridade e trabalhavam fora de casa. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo mostrou a existência de fatores de risco para a interrupção precoce do aleitamento materno exclusivo e o consumo de alimentos inadequados aos lactentes.

“…По сравнению со сладким вкусом, воспри-ятие соленого новорожденными, в отличие от взрослых, более сложное. Дети предпочитают значительно более высокие концентрации соли [15]. Тем не менее новорож-денные, как правило, не реагируют на умеренные кон-центрации соли.…”
