In the experiment, we gave taste samples to 9000 children and conducted a questionnaire about usual eating habits, and as a result, the average boy was tastier than girls with 10% in sourness and 20% in sweetness I understood that.

Although it is not clear what makes such a difference, Bodil Allesen-Holm says that this research content is "I think that it would be good for the parents and the food industry" and "For the boys , Why do not you develop a healthy snack of seasoned and sour seasoned seasoning a little bit? "
