Would you rather not be able to taste sugar or salt?


View Results
This is just a "would you rather question", you would still be able to get all the nutrients your body needs, this is just the taste we're talking about.

I actually never was a "sugar" type of guy, I could go a full year without eating ice cream for example. It's not that I don't like it, it's just something I don't crave for. It would suck not being able to taste any sugar at all, such as sugar in fruit for example, but I can't imagine eating all other types of food without salt.


EDIT: I actually wrote "suger" on the option, I don't know what happenned, how embarassing...

salt seems to be the base for almost everything. Sugar is awesome, but doesn't seem to have quite the same universal utility that salt does.

Not very fond of sugar to begin with so the choice is easy.

Sugar's in a lot more things than you think. Fruits and vegetables would probably become inedible to about 90% of the population, for one thing.

Removing the taste of either sugar or salt entirely would radically change the flavors of most foods for the worse. Removing sugar or salt as an actual distinct ingredient would pretty much kill us all.

Losing sugar detection would make you taste things like a cat. That doesn't sound terrible.

Does this mean all desserts would no longer taste sweet?

If you mean I couldn't taste it rather than I can't have it, I think I'd probably want to get rid of... well, actually, both would be pretty beneficial so it's hard to choose.

If I never get to taste salt again that'd be fantastic, I hate the taste of literally drowning in the ocean. I love candy though. Sugar is the best.

This
Sugar is in a lot more than just sweets, and while salt would cause changes the way things taste in most foods, people seem to be underestimating the changes in flavor that sugar would cause as well.

Probably sugar. With it becoming tasteless it would encourage me to eat less of it and in turn be more healthy. I had/have a sweet tooth and coupled with bad genetics that made some of my teeth go really bad. I've had them more or less fixed now but I still now have a part denture to replace the lower teeth I've lost.

What can I say? I used to play League of Legends.


I voted salt though because salt more amplifies other flavors than adding it's own, and I think that's just more important. It would really suck to lose sugar though.

Are we just talking the flavour of salt itself, or all of the effects salt has on the flavours of other things?

Would keep Salt. There are so many dishes that can be spiced, offering a variety of flavors, but they won't taste good unless you season it well with salt.

While giving up sugar would suck, it has its benefits-- especially in modern society where we use all sorts of unnatural ingredients. No insulin resistance, no sharp blood sugar spikes.

Definitely give up sugar. If sweets and shit don't taste good anymore it makes it far easier to stay on shape as I get older. Salt is surely the one I enjoy more, but I also don't have as big of a problem resisting overuse.
Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment? And then turn out to really not have one?

Fun fact: Salt makes potatoes taste better because of the taste of sugar. This is what really complicates this question far more than people realize.

I'm not sure what salt tastes like. I thought it just altered the taste of other things. But I'm not sure if it has a taste of its own.

Salt. It's esteemed as an holy and irreplaceable season for wellness through the ages unto this day. I prefer it more than sugar for its benefits, as it has frequently cured me in a pinch.
