Do girls have more taste buds than boys?
Taste buds probably play the most important part in helping you enjoy the many flavors of food. Your taste buds can recognize four basic kinds of tastes: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of your tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of your tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of your tongue.Everyone's tastes are different. In fact, your tastes will change as you get older. When you were a baby, you had taste buds, not only on your tongue, but on the sides and roof of your mouth. This means you were very sensitive to different foods. As you grew, the taste buds began to disappear from the sides and roof of your mouth, leaving taste buds mostly on your tongue. As you get older, your taste buds will become even less sensitive, so you will be more likely to eat foods that you thought were too strong as a child.What if you could not taste anything? Things like medications, smoking, not getting enough of the right vitamins, injury to the head, brain tumors, chemical exposure, and the effects of radiation can cause taste disorders. We have almost 10,000 taste buds inside our mouths; even on the roofs of our mouths. Insects have the most highly developed sense of taste. They have taste organs on their feet, antennae, and mouthparts .Fish can taste with their fins and tail as well as their mouth.Taste is the weakest of the five senses.Many popular television shows and American health journals have stated that, on average, girls have more tastebuds than boys. However, in the largest taste experiment to date in Denmark in 2008, involving 8900 volunteers from primary to secondary school, it was found that although the number of taste buds influenced taste preferences, there was no anatomical difference (University of Copenhagen (2008, December 18). Girls Have Superior Sense Of Taste To Boys. ScienceDaily. Retrieved February 2, 2011, from http://www.sciencedaily.com­ /releases/2008/12/081216104035.htm). Rather, it was conjectured that it was the way boys and girls process taste sensation that made girls better tasters, not the density or number of taste buds.

Where is taste mostly pronounced in the tongue?
A 1901 study showed that the back of the tongue tasted the bitter, the sides the sour, the front the sweet, and so on. Spicy was not one of the 4 flavors described in that study . . . The newer studies of the tongue with regard to taste have shown that the entire front, top, sides, and back are pretty much equal in what they taste; however, it has been shown that certain parts of the tongue are first to be able to taste certain flavors. But once there is enough concentration of a substance to be able to taste it at all, all parts of the tongue taste the substance pretty equally. The basic 4 "tastes": sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, are present all over the tongue.
