hi friend of steemians,
Some people consider smoking to be the most ideal coffee. More delicious, he said. But a study reveals completely different scientific facts about the combination of cigarettes and coffee.
Research published in the Chemosensory Perception revealed that cigarettes actually kill a number of receptors on the tongue. Simply put, cigarette toxins make the tongue insensitive to certain flavors, even after someone stops smoking.
The conclusion was obtained after the scientists conducted experiments on 451 volunteers who smoked. The volunteers were asked to taste 4 kinds of flavors namely sweet, sour, bitter and salty. They were also asked to assess the intensity of the taste.
The results of the observations show that the tongue of these smokers tends to be less sensitive to the taste when compared to the tongue of a non-smoker. Of the four kinds of taste tried, the ability to recognize the bitter taste most shows the difference in the tongue of a smoker.
Even after volunteers were asked to stop smoking, differences in recognizing bitter taste were still observed. The ability to recognize salty, sweet, and sour tastes tends to be good, but for bitter taste that should be very typical of coffee, it is bad for ex-smokers.
