There are five tastes that we have as humans and one helps protect us from poisonous and toxic substances. The sensitivity to bitter taste is highly individual and there are thirty different genes responsible for sensing bitter flavour.
This may account for the taste preferences and dislikes for some people with a discerning palate. Many 'pickier eaters' may be 'supertasters' of bitter flavours.
Including bitter foods can be a very important strategy to help with bile health, liver support, balancing cholesterol levels and regulation of appetite, so, they are worthwhile to start to try to include more in the week.
Sandra and Rob discuss bitter foods for your bile and how these help with gallbladder health and can help with preventing chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes and inflammatory conditions.
