A study at the University of New South Wales in Sydney found that around a quarter of people have a 39 sense of taste, making foods like broccoli taste bitter and rich foods 40 . These “supertasters” tend to be slim and have a lower risk of heart disease. To determine if you are a supertaster, 41 a dot of blue food coloring on your
tongue and look in the mirror. If you see a densely spotted area, there is a good chance you are a supertaster. If the spots are 42 distributed, you are not. The study also found 15 percent of people, 43 men, were “non-tasters”—they will devour anything put in front of them. They get the benefits of a broad diet, but risk overdoing it.
