Do you, or someone you know suffer from Hyperactive Taste-bud Syndrome (HTS)?
Most people are unaware of the symptoms of HTS and go through life not knowing that they have this condition.
So what is HTS and how do you know if you suffer from HTS symptoms?
Try taking this Quiz:
1) Have you ever gone to the gym so that you could later splurge on a paté plate or a roasted bone marrow dish?
2) Has a plate of food or glass of wine brought you to tears because it was just “so perfect”?
3) Are you an adventurous diner who is constantly in search of something new?
4) Have you eaten meat in another country not knowing what it was?
5) When dining out do you make it a point to never order the same thing twice?
6) Are you the authority on the best burger place, taco truck, Indian restaurant, etc.?
If you answered yes to three or more questions, it is likely that you have HTS.
That’s right… you have a tasting addiction due to under stimulated hyperactive taste-buds.
When under stimulated, these little bad boys fire up and require you to splurge on that slice of key lime pie, or that glass of Ch. d’Yquem.
Splurging on items such as these can force your under stimulated taste-buds into hyper-stimulation, therefore controlling the symptoms for the time being.
Although it can be hard on your wallet, there is a positive side to having HTS.
The next time you order a four course meal for lunch, you can announce to the table: “Oh here we go… my HTS is acting up again”!
