How sound affects the taste of our food
High-frequency sounds enhance the sweetness in food, while low frequencies bring out the bitterness. So could sound replace sugar? And what kind of music should restaurants play?I am sitting at my kitchen table eating chocolate in the name of science. (Turns out I'm pretty good at science.) I'm trying out some "sonic seasoning" whereby, if I listen to a low-pitched sound, my taste awareness somehow shrinks to the back of my tongue and focuses on the chocolate's bitter elements.

No proof coffee causes obesity and diabetes
Conclusion
This rodent research suggests that mice given a high-fat diet supplemented with the polyphenol chlorogenic acid (CGA) fared worse than those given a high-fat diet. But this was only in terms of measures of glucose regulation that are related to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The researchers point out that other studies have found that giving CGA to mice improved measures of their glucose regulation. When there are contradictory results from different studies like this, it can indicate that the biological processes involved are not fully understood. Because of this, these results are not likely to be re...
