                                According to research published by the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Japan, after a period of fasting, such as overnight, taste receptors become more sensitive to sweet flavors while increasing tolerance for sour and bitter ones. This fascinating phenomenon suggests that the deliciousness of your morning coffee and breakfast isn't just your imagination—it's rooted in a complex biological response.
