Have you lost your taste sensitivity as a side-effect of medication?

June 21, 2005

People on chemo treatments normally report that the drugs leave them with an unpleasant metallic taste in their mouths. It is a shame to have one’s eating and tasting experience dminished, even just a little bit. According to a preliminary study conducted by Dr. Mike Cusnir, an oncologist at Mount Sinai’s Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami Beach, Florida, the miracle fruit improves, or masks, the metallic taste from chemo in up to 70% of the participants. When it comes to eating and tasting, miracle fruit could be able to improve the quality of life for those who have lost taste sensitivity due to chemo treatment.
