Abstract
⺠Fat is a nutrient sensed by oral, olfactory, and texture cues that adds palatability to many foods. ⺠There are no standardized procedures for studying oral fat perception. ⺠We developed a simple tool to measure the ability to discriminate fat content. ⺠Poor fat discrimination ability was linked to increased intake of added fats. ⺠This tool may be used to identify risk for obesity and excess fat intake.
