Did you know that smell and taste are intertwined in our brain, so when you lose your sense of smell, you also lose your sense of taste. “The tongue can detect basic tastes like sweet, sour, savory and bitter, but the nose detects flavor,” says Dr. Danoun. “So if you lose your sense of smell and eat a strawberry candy, for example, you might know you’re eating something sweet, but you might not know that it’s strawberry flavored.”
