As a result of having conducted an investigation into the ratio of sweetness preference for 60 woman junior college students, 71.7% of the students preferred sweetness. Comparative study was made of the intake of each nutrient of those who preferred sweetness and sweetness non-preference people. As for 9 people (Group A) of those who preferred sweetness, who corresponded to 118.0% of the 20s' intake amount of energy by National Health Nourishment Investigation (2008), there were much intake of energy from lipid, carbohydrates and simple glucose and the sweetness preference overlapped with fat taste preference. In addition, 34 people (Group B) of those who preferred sweetness, who corresponded to 73% of the 20s' intake amount of energy, took a lot of carbohydrates and simple glucose and the intake energy was unbalanced to staple food.On the other hand, the intake amount of energy of 17 sweetness non-preference people (Group C) corresponded to 91.3% of that of the 20's by the Investigation (2008), and the balanced nutrient of protein, lipid, carbohydrates and simple glucose were taken, but the intake amount of energy was short. 51 of the 60 people of this investigation lacked intake amount of energy in comparison with the required amount (physical activity level II) of the intake energy of the 20's woman. It seems that it is necessary to take measures on this point.
