AB  - BACKGROUND: Dietary content can influence taste responses. Therefore, we compared 
      nutrient hedonics (liking foods by nutrient content), and seasoning, including 
      taste responses to the prime flavours salt and sweet in 30 vegan, 37 vegetarian 
      and 56 omnivore men and women. METHODOLOGY: Questionnaires and taste tests 
      examined macronutrient and electrolyte intake and hedonics, seasoning, salt and 
      sweet preferences and psychophysical taste responses. RESULTS: Compared to 
      omnivores, vegans had lower protein, Ca(++), Na(+) intake, and increased 
      carbohydrate (CHO) intake. Independently of intake, hedonics for protein 
      Ca(++)and Na(+) were reduced and increased for CHO. Psychophysical responses to 
      NaCl and sucrose also differed slightly, vegans and vegetarians scoring high 
      concentrations of sucrose as more intense, Vegans reported more sweetening and 
      less salting of food, added more sucrose to a test tea, less salt to a test soup, 
      but did not differ in seasoning with oil or hot spice. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS: 
      Habitual vegan, vegetarian and omnivore diets may alter taste responses to 
      nutrient content and salt and sweet, the latter more pronounced in vegan and 
      vegetarian women. Recognizing diet-dependent changes in taste hedonics can inform 
      diets and products.
