Vital reactions to the gustatory stimulus of sweetness were quantitatively evaluated via facial skin thermography, correlating nasal skin temperature with subjective emotional status based on the visual analog scale (VAS). We found that the sweet gustatory stimulus inhibited transition to an unpleasant status.
