N2  - As part of an investigation of the feasibility of using aversive tastes to keep children from ingesting harmful nonfood substances, the taste preferences of children three to six years of age were tested.  Specifically prepared fondant candies with four distinct flavors were given to 102 children in a paired comparison design.  The children's taste preferences were generally consistent regardless of age, supporting the hypothesis that some tastes may be inherently aversive.<p />
