But since going low-carb nine months ago, my sense of taste seems to have changed completely. Some examples:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I stopped putting milk or sugar in my cofee. To start with it tasted very bitter. But now, it actually tastes sweet, even though there is no added sugar.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I tried my sister-in-law's delicious apple crumble (for [USER=398098]@hichamgsm[/USER]: this is a very sweet American/British dessert with apple, sugar, and pastry; Americans often put ice cream on top). It tasted really horrible, unbearably rich. The others around the table were tucking in voraciously!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I do occasionally "cheat" and drink a pint of good German beer. In the old days, it just tasted like "good beer." Nowadays, it tastes really nice but very, very "wheaty" (it is Hefe Weissbier, pretty much pure wheat carbs or "liquid bread"!).</li> </ul>So in partial answer to some of your questions, I think the taste buds in our mouth are quite important. And, apparently, they can be "re-trained" even for an old man like me!</blockquote>
