Problems with Taste
Frequently Asked Questions
13. Can losing your sense of taste be
serious?
Yes. Losing your sense of taste can be more than a quality-of-life
issue. Loss of taste deprives us of an early warning system that
most of us take for granted. Taste helps us detect spoiled food or
beverages and, for some, the presence of food to which they are
allergic. Perhaps more serious, loss of the sense of taste also can
lead to depression and a reduced desire to eat.
