Scientists have discovered a new taste - calcium

New tasteAs always, it all started with laboratoryrats. It was in them that this taste sensation was discovered in a series of experiments. More precisely, two genes (CaSR and Tas1r3) were found in one of the groups of animals, which were somehow connected with . Considering that Homo sapiens shares a large number of genes with these rodents, it is quite possible that humans are also able to feel the taste of such an important element for them. So, what does this element taste like? Bitter? A little sour? No, it is "calcium". There is no other way to describe it, because the sensation of calcium on the tongue is received not by the receptors that react to the bitterness or acidity of the product, but by individual (specially targeted at calcium) representatives of them. It has not yet been proven that humans can feel this taste, although it is known that some people have the same genes as the animals studied. However, the head of the study, geneticist Michael Tordoff, claims that humans can perceive a small content of calcium, for example, in drinking water. «The taste of calcium in tap water seems pleasant, but with a higher content it becomes disgusting». In addition, scientists believe that the bitterness of some vegetables (for example, various types of cabbage) is also due to the high level of calcium in them. Perhaps for this reason some people do not want to eat them. And what about milk or cottage cheese? After all, they contain a lot of this element. Probably, their taste is not unpleasant to humans due to the fact that the calcium in them is bound by proteins and fats. According to researchers, about 70% of Americans and 90% of American women consume an insufficient amount of an important natural macronutrient necessary for the human body not only for healthy bone growth, but also to combat excess weight, high blood pressure and other ailments. If the study finds similar receptors in humans, this problem can be solved with the help of specially created substances that will block their work and allow people to consume foods high in calcium.
