Scientists have stated that millions of people like chocolate for reasons other than taste.
Experts have found out why chocolate is so attractive and why millions of people like it. It turns out that it's not about its taste at all.
The discovery made by British scientists from the University of Leeds is described in the journal Phys.org. In order to reveal the secret of the attractiveness of this product, scientists have created an artificial analog of the human tongue.
As a result, it turns out that the taste sensation is influenced by cocoa solids in chocolate. And the perception of taste is influenced by fat.
It was the fat film that forms on the tongue that was the deciding factor in chocolate's attractiveness. As it turns out, people like the way the film of saliva and fat envelops the mouth.
