Children in these studies were selected because of their known, pre-existing vitamin deficiencies. For example, one study looked at children who were known to be low in vitamin D. These children were given a choice of several foods, but only one of the foods was high in vitamin D. For example, given a choice of orange juice (no vitamin D), soda pop (no vitamin D), and cod liver oil (high vitamin D), most of the kids actually chose cod liver oil! In other words, they seemed to be able to trust their taste buds."<BR/><BR/>Sadly, but also quite fortunate depending on the people of the family: "Many other studies, however, have repeatedly shown that even at a very early age, children tend to prefer the foods that their parents or brothers and sisters eat, and that the opinions of their family influence the way food tastes to them.<BR/><BR/>In addition, by the time we get to be adults, we've seen thousands of food commercials on television; we've accepted responsibilities that can make our week highly stressful; and we've had years and years of eating without trying to foster an awareness of our body's reactions to food and and what it needs."Narahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09931238789359766486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430891427414273196.post-64725010274960214272007-12-28T15:05:00.000-05:002007-12-28T15:05:00.000-05:00Hey, who made that really neat-looking place-mat e...Hey, who made that really neat-looking place-mat eh??
