When a sweet taste was added to the water rich in vitamins, the mice did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (调换) to the clear water.

We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating habits, but that over a period of time they tried to choose a well-balanced diet.
