In one of their experiments，college students were asked questions about their character—whether，for example，they were soft-hearted or not．Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food．According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer．

In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t．For example，people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city，visit sick children in the hospital and so on．
