The sense of taste is critical to health. Taste drives us to consume specific nutrients like sweet carbohydrates or savory amino acids, and avoid foods that may be unripe (sour), spoiled, or contain potentially toxic compounds that we perceive as bitter.

味觉对健康至关重要。味觉驱使我们摄入特定的营养素，如甜的碳水化合物或美味的氨基酸，避免可能不成熟（酸），变质或含有我们认为是苦的潜在有毒化合物的食物。
