Do people correctly access their ability to taste? @tomer_green showed that self-rated #taste ability correlated with self-rated #smell ability (r = 0.68, p ≤ 0.005), but NOT with scores strips test. Home tests work well

Summary of our recent "Sensitivity of human #sweet#taste receptor subunits T1R2 and T1R3 to activation by #glucose#enantiomers" https://t.co/t4XUJVAqdg
1/n T1R2 older RefSeq NM_152232.1 and recent RefSeq NM_152232.4 differ at 4 positions on the VFT domain
Tired of failing your New Year’s resolution each year? Here is a pretty easy one! Just drink your daily morning coffee or tea and report how it smells and tastes for 30 days. #SmellAndTasteChallenge
How well can YOU smell?

Started this:
Each odd hour of the waking day, phone is on airplane mode (and in another room) & WiFi disconnected.
It reveals: your reflexive impulses.
It trains up: your “no-go” circuits.
It amplifies: everyone else’s anxiety.
It allows: calm, tremendous productivity.
