It is the cold drinks, and, even water, to blame for the development of obesity and diabetesto some extent, think the researchers from Arcanses University. The fact is that cold dulls sweetness.As a result, the sense of taste is changed, and you prefer more and more sweet drinks and products.

The Daily Mail reports about the experiment: volunteers were given water of different temperature to swill around in the mouth. Then they ate chocolate or cheese. People found the taste of the chocolate less intense when the water was close to freezing. Yet, the water temperature had no effect on the taste of the cheese.

Apparently, the cold reduces the sensitivity of the taste buds, which are located on the tongue. For this reason, cold soft drinks, such as soda provoke excessive sugar intake. It is a threat of obesity and a number of other problems.
