SWEET TASTE BUDS

The mouth has taste buds that pick up the five primary tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami. These tastes often trigger protein binding and other molecular secretions elsewhere in the body to prepare it for these foods. What’s even cooler is that sweet taste buds have also been found in the GI tract, in the pancreas, and in the brain! What does this mean? The body is preparing for the rush of glucose into the body by starting to secrete insulin, even when artificial sweeteners are present. The resulting spikes in insulin aren’t good for the ambitious athlete trying to keep a decent body fat percentage for performance or for those who might be prone to type 2 diabetes (see ssss1, How Fuel Provides Energy, for more on insulin and blood sugar levels).
