Doctors Say How We Taste Affects Health Doctors Say How We Taste Affects Health Nov 21, 2006 Quote: WASHINGTON (AP) -- Woe to those who have a cold on Thursday. If you can't smell the roasting turkey, it just won't taste as good. And if you think the brussels sprouts are bitter, well, blame how many taste buds you were born with, not the chef. But never fear: Even after you're pleasantly stuffed from second helpings, there's a little spot deep in your brain that still gives a "Wow!" for pumpkin pie. How we taste is pretty complicated, an interaction of the tongue, the nose, psychological cues and exposure to different foods. But ultimately, we taste with our brains. "Why do we learn to like foods? When they're paired with something our brains are programmed to see as good," says Dr. Linda Bartoshuk of the University of Florida, a specialist in the genetics of human taste. Sorry, brains are programmed to want fat, probably an evolutionary hangover from times of scarcity. But what's necessary for survival isn't all the brain likes. University of Michigan researchers just uncovered that eating something tasty can spark brain cells that sense actual pleasure to start firing rapidly. article continues

I guess my first response would be, "Would someone please lick me and let me know how I taste?" ;?D __________________ Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
