Sweet is one of the five basic tastes and is almost universally regarded as a pleasurable experience. Foods rich in simple carbohydrates such as sugar are those most commonly associated with sweetness, although there are other natural and artificial compounds that are sweet at much lower concentrations, allowing their use as non-caloric sugar substitutes. Other compounds may alter perception of sweetness itself. The chemosensory basis for detecting sweetness, which varies among both individuals and species, has only been teased apart in recent years. The current theoretical model is the multipoint attachment theory, which involves multiple binding sites between sweetness receptor and the sweet substance itself. Studies indicate that responsiveness to sugars and sweetness has ancient evolutionary beginnings, being manifest as chemotaxis even motile bacteria such as E. Coli.[1] Newborn human infants also demonstrate preferences for high sugar concentrations and prefer solutions that are sweeter than lactose, the sugar found in breast milk.[2] [3] Sweetness appears to have the highest taste recognition threshold, being detectable at around 1 part in 200 of sucrose in solution. By comparison, bitterness appears to have the lowest detection threshold, at about 1 part in 2 million for quinine in solution.[4] In natural settings of the sort our primate ancestors evolved in, sweetness intensity should indicate energy density, while bitterness tends to indicate toxicity[5] [6] [7] The high sweetness detection threshold and low bitterness detection threshold would have predisposed our primate ancestors to seek out sweet-tasting (and energy-dense) foods and avoid bitter-tasting foods. Even amongst leaf-eating primates,there is a tendency to prefer immature leaves, which tend to be higher in protein and lower in fibre and poisons than mature leaves.[8]. The 'sweet tooth' thus has an ancient evolutionary heritage, and while food processing has changed consumption patterns[9] [10], human physiology remains largely unchanged.[11] A great diversity of chemical compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones are sweet. Among common biological substances, all of the simple carbohydrates are sweet to at least some degree. Sucrose (table sugar) is the prototypical example of a sweet substance. Sucrose in solution has a sweetness perception rating of 1, and other substances are rated relative to this.[12]. For example, another sugar, fructose, is somewhat sweeter, being rated at 1.7 times the sweetness of sucrose[12]. Some of the amino acids are mildly sweet alanine, glycine, and serine are the sweetest. Some other amino acids are perceived as both sweet and bitter.

2. Britney Spears Dress Up Games
November 20, 2009
If you're a Britney Spears fan, either from the time when she was a young, innocent looking girl who gave us all kinds of wonderful and sweet sounding songs or from her more recent work, where like Madonna, she has remade herself into something else entirely and is trying to make a new life for herself, you might enjoy playing with some of the Britney Spears dress up games that I found online.

12. Choosing and Fleshing Out a 3 Point Article for Article Marketing
November 19, 2009
Getting articles out and getting them out quick is the name of the game when it comes to article marketing. While in other areas it might be a good thing to write pages-long articles that really delve deep into a topic, with article marketing the one rule you want to follow is this: Keep it short, sweet, and simple.
Due to that, you might have heard that the commonly advocated method is to use three-points in your article. However, the problem with that is that you need to properly choose and flesh out these three points for them to be of any use to you.

16. Teach Yourself Spanish Language
November 19, 2009
Spanish is a passionate language. I imagine the dizzying smell of dark chocolate, or the sweet scent of almond trees wafting in the summer breeze. I think of the vivid red trail of a flamenco dancer's dress as she whirls and stamps her heels to the vigorous strumming of a classical guitar.
I'm obviously being romantic, but , the benefits of learning Spanish should be obvious to you. French may be the language of love, but Spanish, oh Spanish...just the sound of it, every consonant and vowel uttered with such clarity. It can be as dream-inducing as a whisper or as riveting as a passionate... (read more)
