By comparison, bitterness appears to have the lowest detection threshold, at about 1 part in 2 million for quinine in solution.[5] In the natural settings that human primate ancestors evolved in, sweetness intensity should indicate energy density, while bitterness tends to indicate toxicity.[6][7][8] 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.[9] The &#8216;sweet tooth&#8217; thus has an ancient evolutionary heritage, and while food processing has changed consumption patterns,[10][11] human physiology remains largely unchanged.[12]&#8217; <\/p><cite>from &#8220;Sweetness &#8211; Wikipedia&#8221; at https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sweetness curated by lemasney creative.
