A study done by the University of New South Wales in Sydney found that a quarter of people have a heightened sense of taste. Thus, due to this, they tend to taste broccoli as being bitter and rich foods unpalatable.
As they have an aversion to fatty foods, this means that “supertasters” tend to be slim and have a lower risk of heart disease.
To determine if you are one of the unique supertasters in the world, put a dot of blue food colouring on your tongue and look in the mirror. If you see a densely spotted area in your tongue, a good chance might be that you are a supertaster. If the spots are sparsely distributed, then you’re not.
The study has also found that 15 per cent of the people, mostly whom are men, were “non-tasters”. This means that they’ll devour anything placed in front of them. Thus, though they get the benefits of a broad diet, they risk overdoing it.
Now, how cool is this-That in this world, there are actually people whom taste food differently from us all? :D
