What do you think makes your taste buds change? - GoFuckYourself.com

The older I get, the more I can eat that I never could before. Now I LOVE some of the things I used to hate.

Any science to this?

Yeh, you lose your sensitivity over time. I think that's what you would say. That's why older people can handle and also enjoy heat more.

Hormonal changes, your body wanting different nutrients.

I dunno. Just one of them things.

When I was a baby/kid I used to love cheese apparently, then for years I hated it, now i've started to eat it again. I'm still fussy with it but I used to hate all cheese even pizza. then about 4 years ago I tried pizza and liked it so I started eating pizza and mozza on all sorts of food, but would still avoid any other cheese (that had flavour basically) because I still hated it.

Now I can eat some other milder cheese but still not many, I guess in about another 10 years I will probably be eating all sorts and not even think about it.

Yeah I heard that too. The older you get the more spice you prefer just to be able to taste something. I've also heard that smokers tend to like things salter.

Ah, the joys of aging.
