Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I actually read, maybe even posted, an article about that recently. Seems some of us have super-sensitive taste, and these folks tend to dislike various specific things. They are the sort of folks who taste mostly earth when they eat, say, dark green leafy veggies, or red beets. They over-react to super-sour candies, or to spices. You may indeed be one of those. As for bottled water, I quite agree, they do taste widely different. And if you look on Dasani, it actually tells you that minerals have been added FOR TASTE.

As if we need more Sodium in our diets ! Paul -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I *love* super sour or super spicy foods!! The level of garlic that most people think is enough, I can't even taste. What I do seem to be super sensitive to is [what I call] chemically stuff. To the point of even being able to taste certain odors in the air, long before my friends ever even smell anything. [ I can't smell; born that way.] So, sure! I *can* taste the air!! [loved that subject line!] I knew about Dasani...[i think it's kinda funny, that! added sodium, for one.] But I wasn't refering to that one. Some bottled water just tastes better than others...I drink only bottled 'spring' water, so I assume I am tasting the various minerals [and what-not] from the area the water is obtained.

So what's with Coke? I don't drink it, because I don't like the way it tastes, but what did I miss? == http://pixxart.com the Art of Living in Health, Peace, & Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK - I live near the coast - I'll just drink some sea water instead. ;-) >So what's with Coke?

Try this for starters: <http://www.caja.org/coke/>. Cheers, Paul -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
