Sweetness preference of 165 women was measured during a variety of hormonal conditions. Group LP consisted of women using oral contraceptives (OC) which had a low progestin potency, while the women in group HP used OC which had a high progestin potency. Groups I, II and III consisted of women who were tested during 1 of the 3 trimesters of pregnancy. For purposes of comparison with the treatment groups, women who were nonpregnant, non-OC users were roughly divided into groups representing the phase of the menstrual cycle during which they were tested. All of the women tasted 4 solutions of sucrose and ranked them in order from most to least preferred. Group LP had a significant preference for strong concentrated sucrose solutions, whereas Group HP had no preference. There were no significant differences in sweetness preference between the 3 trimesters of pregnancy, but the sweetness preference of pregnant women was significantly less than that of the nonpregnant women.
