If you find yourself leaving toward foods with a bitter flavor profile, it might reveal a dark truth.
People on social media have been losing their minds in recent weeks over a 2016 study that looked into an individual’s taste preferences and what this said about their personality. Researchers from the University of Innsbruck in Austria investigated the taste preferences of 953 Americans for the groundbreaking study. The participants were asked about their partiality for sweet, sour, salty, and bitter food and beverages. These same people then had to answer four different personality surveys that assessed anti-social personality traits such as psychopathy, narcissism, aggression, and sadism. The results of the study found that there was a significant link between the “increased enjoyment of bitter foods and heightened sadistic proclivities”.
Bitter foods included things like gin and tonics, black coffee, and dark chocolate.
