Horizon: The Truth about Taste
What if you could get that chocolate cake kick from eating a plate of beans? Taste is one of our most primal senses, intimately linked to pleasure and enjoyment, yet it is also one of the least understood. Horizon sets out to uncover what the newly emerging science of taste could do for us. Because if we can understand what happens in our brains from the moment food hits our tongues, we may find a way to make it easy to eat healthily.
