The proof is in the pudding: children prefer lower fat but higher sugar than do mothers.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Oct 2012

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Although there are established age-related differences in sweet preferences, it remains unknown whether children differ from mothers in their preference for and perception of fat (creaminess). We examined whether individual differences in sucrose and fat preferences and perception are related to age, genotype and lifestyle. SUBJECTS: Children 5-10 years-old (n=84) and their mothers (n=67) chose the...
