There are five basic flavors that we perceive in food and herbs, bitter, sour, sweet and pungent. Each flavor produces particular actions and has a relationship with one or several body systems. With the consumption of sugar and processed foods, we have lost our appreciation of these flavors. Hunter-gatherers experienced these flavors on a regular basis. Each season would offer different tastes depending on what was available and what region the hunter-gatherer lived in. We have food so readily available to us but it is mostly sweet and salty flavors that we experience on a daily basis. This Functionised Podcast goes in depth on how this effects human performance.
