A really bright light can make me blind. A really loud noise can make me deaf. Can a really strong flavour break my taste buds? Or a strong odour break my sense of smell?

    oh yeah, you can totally change your sense of taste of sweet and salty

    remove either of these for several weeks and then slowly bring them back and you will find you are far more sensitive to them than previously.

    the addiction to high level sweet taste is why dieting is so hard for so many and why sugar substitutes are targetted as an option.

      If I have ice cream and then a piece of 100% dark chocolate, its tasteless. When I do keto and have a piece of 100% as my only dessert, it’s the sweetest thing in my life.
