INTRODUCTION
In the Western diet, excessive intake of lipids, combined with an imbalance in quality, contributes to the increase in obesity and associated pathologies. Both humans and rodents are attracted to fats. Until recently, it was thought that only the texture and smell of lipids were responsible for their orosensory detection, but recent studies suggest that gustation also contributes to this attraction to lipids.
