El campo de las preferencias y aversiones alimentarias ha sido ampliamente estudiado. Sin embargo, las dudas siguen superando a las certezas. ¿Por qué nos gustan determinados alimentos y, en cambio, rechazamos otros?, ¿cómo se adquieren las preferencias y aversiones alimentarias?, ¿por qué, con frecuencia, las preferencias alimentarias de los padres no coinciden con las de sus hijos? Las respuestas a estos porqués y cómos son todavía poco, o casi nada, concluyentes. En este artículo exponemos los principales mecanismos implicados en la adquisición de las preferencias y aversiones alimentarias, la relación entre éstas y los problemas de salud y algunos de los programas de intevención utilizados en el campo clínico para tratar las aversiones. Finalmente, planteamos la importancia de utilizar los conocimientos que nos proporciona la investigación en el campo de la promoción y prevención de la salud.
Much research has been conducted on the subject of food preferences and aversions. However, mny questions remin unanswered. Why do we like some foods but not others? Where do our food preferences and aversions come from? Why is it that parents' food preferences do not often coincide with those of their children? The answers to these questions are still far from being settled. In this article, we describe the main mechanisms involved in the acquisition of food preferences and aversions, their relation with problems of health and some of the programmes used in the clinical treatment of aversions. Finally, we stress the need to use these research findings in promoting preventive health care.
