Abstract
The present study uses a 2x2 design to examine weight status and presence of Binge Eating Disorder (BED) as these relate to taste perception measured by the NIH Gustatory Assessment. We found interactions where overweight individuals with BED perceive sweet and bitter tastes less intensely than all other groups.
