Sweet Tooth Linked to Childhood Growth Spurts

A new study found that growing bones may be to blame for a child’s sweet tooth.Wired PR News – A new study has linked a child’s preference for sweets to rapid growth. As reported by HealthDay News, researchers found that children with faster rates of growth may have more of an appetite for sweets than those who grow at a slower pace.As part of the study, 143 children were given a sweetened beverage and placed into two groups. Those whose urine contained high levels of a bone growth biomarker were stated to enjoy the sweetest drinks more.Susan Coldwell a professor at the University of Washington and the study’s lead author is quoted in the report as stating, “It’s been known for a long time that children have an incredible sweet tooth — ‘Give me Cocoa Puffs and add more sugar… They are using a lot of calories during growth, and the body is responding to that by an increased sweet preference.”Coldwell is further quoted as stating in regards to parent’s fears about their children’s eating habits, “People worry a lot about their kids having this big sweet tooth… One thing we can reassure parents is that kids do have a natural developmental downward shift in preference for sweets. Tastes do change in puberty.”Photo Credit:Wikipedia User Pamela from DC Metro
