Coffee is a habitual stimulant that most Americans consume daily, can affect the taste buds, which is why you will want to eat more sweets. This is evidenced by a study of scientists from Cornell University.
Caffeine is a powerful reaction to lethargy and relaxation, so you really wake up and feel more alert after a morning cup of coffee. But the suppression of the same receptors responsible for drowsiness and relaxation reduces the ability of a person to distinguish between sweet tastes. Because of this, you can drink more coffee and other drinks with sugar, and also use more sugar some time after coffee, without noticing how sweet the usual foods are.
According to Robin Dando, associate professor at the Department of Nutrition, if you want to eat something right after drinking a cup of coffee or other caffeinated beverages, you will most likely not like its taste as usual. The study involved two groups of people who were given coffee with and without caffeine. Sugar was put in both drinks. Those participants who drank caffeinated coffee rated it as less sweet, and no one was able to determine whether it was regular or decaffeinated coffee.
Scientists say that coffee fans, as a result, eat more sugary foods during the day and lose weight more slowly for the same reason.
