For All the Salt-Lovers

Sure, everyone appreciates chocolate, but what about those of us who love salt?

When it comes to whether we have a greater propensity for salty or sweet foods, studies have shown that our preference for one taste over another has a lot to do with a unique grouping of inherited genes which helps determine our taste sensitivities.

Environment also plays a clear role, especially since the exposure to different fare has a way of shifting our cravings; however, there is no doubt that the foods we wind up associating with good experiences tend to become the things we use for comfort later.

For many of us, chocolate and other varieties of sweets reign as king, but there are many people who find themselves continually drawn to savory items. Studies have actually shown that these individuals may be “supertasters”—meaning they have an abundance of taste buds and tend to have a heightened sensitivity for all types of flavors. Further, many researchers have even suggested that salt-lovers may simply be making up for lost time since there seems to be a link between infants with low sodium levels and adults who wind up craving salty items.
