Infusions of nutrient solutions via a tube is often the last resort for doctors to save anorexic patients' lives - it's yet nothing anyone should do voluntarily for the satiety plus Spetter et al. observed. As a SuppVersity Reader you are no stranger to "incretin hormones" and their release in response to the interaction of food with the taste receptors that are distributed all over your body. Against that background you will probably not be surprised to hear that Martjee S. Spetter and her colleagues from the University Medical Center Utrecht and the Wageningen University found that bypassing oral the stimulation of oral taste receptors decreases the satiety and alters the appetite hormone response to a given meal. As the Dutch researchers point out, the interaction between oral and gastric signals is an important part of food intake regulation.

The "Curb the cravings w/ sour and bitter foods"-implication is just one out of three science-based hypothesis on potential practical implications of recent studies.
