Hm, I think the article got that wrong -- Wikipedia seems to suggest that it's a lesser indicator [1]. If you don't have access to that PROP chemical they mentioned, an easier test is tonic water. Does it taste extremely bitter to you? For me (someone who has a lot of the features of a supertaster), tonic water is a nightmare. If anything, your experience seems opposite of what supertasters experience, which is that certain chemicals overpower and blot out the normal flavor that others experience, especially with alcohol. [1] "The cause of this heightened [taste] response is unknown, although it is thought to be related to the presence of the TAS2R38 gene, the ability to taste PROP and PTC, and, at least in part, due to an increased number of fungiform papillae." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster#Cause |
