What taste do infants prefer?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants have a preference for sweet taste. This preference is believed to be innate and evolutionary advantageous since breast milk, the primary source of nutrition for infants, has a sweet taste. Bitter and sour tastes are often associated with potentially harmful substances, and infants tend to reject these tastes. Salty taste is not preferred or rejected by infants, but excessive intake of salt can be harmful to their developing kidneys.
